How to replace the Neutral Safety Switch on a 4L80-E transmission on Chevrolet Tahoe?

Starting to replace a 4l80-e transmission's park/neutral position switch requires applying the parking brake followed by positioning the transmission into neutral. Start by elevating the vehicle before you remove the nut connecting the transmission control lever to the manual shaft then disconnect the transmission control lever. Begin by disconnecting the electrical connectors from the switch then use a wrench to remove mounting bolts holding the park/neutral position switch to the transmission before taking the switch off the manual shaft. To remove burrs from the outer manual shaft edge simply use a file tool. To install the switch slide its hub flats to match the manual shaft flats then shift it onto the shaft until the mounting bracket reaches the transmission's mounting bosses. New switches arrive with built-in positive assurance brackets to do away with the requirement for a neutral position adjustment tool during installation. Next, position the neutral position adjustment tool (J 41364-A) on the switch so its slots match with the tool's tabs and then tighten the two mounting bolts on the transmission finger tight. Tighten both bolts to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.) after you rotate the tool until the upper locator pin lines up with the switch's slot. Take out the tool along with any positive assurance bracket if it exists. Tighten the electrical connectors to the switch before putting the transmission control lever onto the manual shaft and securing it with a nut to 25 nm torque (18 ft. Lbs.). After lowering the vehicle check that the switch functions correctly by ensuring the engine starts only when placed in positions p (Park) or n (Neutral). The switch requires replacement when it fails to function properly.
