How to service and repair the Neutral Safety Switch on a 4L60-E Automatic Transmission on Chevrolet K3500?

To fix the transmission position switch/sensor on a 4l60-e automatic transmission, push down the parking brake and put the gearbox into neutral. Disconnect the negative Battery Cable, unscrew the nut that connects the transmission control lever to the manual shaft and remove the lever. Disconnect the wiring harness connector from the park position switch, take out the two bolts holding the switch in place and remove the switch from the manual shaft. If the switch didn't fall off, slide the outer edge of the manual shaft across some sandpaper to take off any sharp edges. Place the switch on the transmission manual shaft so that the switch and the manual shaft flats match, slide it until the mounting bracket contacts the mounting bosses and mount it with two bolts. Put the j41364-a onto the switch (J41365), aligning its slots with the lower tabs on the switch and rotate the tool clockwise (when facing the switch) until its upper pin gets into the slot on top of the switch. Apply 28 nm (21 ft. Lbs.) of torque to the switch bolts, take out your wrench and hook up the wires to the switch again. Place the transmission control lever onto the manual shaft and fasten it with the nut so that the tension is set to 28 nm (21 ft. Lbs.), lower the vehicle, reattach the negative Battery Cable and check that starting the engine is allowed only when the transmission is in either park or neutral position.
