  Q: How to service and repair the Neutral Safety Switch on GMC Safari?

  A: Service and repair procedures for the transmission position switch/sensor require particular tools including a neutral position adjustment tool (J 41364-A). Neutral position adjustment tool (J 41364-A). Start by deploying the parking brake followed by shifting into the neutral gear. Begin by raising the vehicle before taking out the nut that connects the transmission control lever to the manual shaft. Remove the transmission control lever afterward. The wiring harness should be disconnected from a location close to the vehicle harness in order to protect the park switch lead connector. Begin switching out the park/neutral position switch by unpacking the two bolts holding it to the transmission before removing the switch from the manual shaft. To remove burrs on the manual shaft's outer edge use file components until the switch slides off. Position the switch on the manual shaft transmission by placing its hub flats against manual shaft flats then move the switch until the mounting bracket touches the transmission mounting bosses. Fasten the switch with two bolts while keeping them loose. Place the neutral position adjustment tool (J 41364-A) into position by allowing the switch's slots to connect with the lower tabs of the tool. Lock in place the upper locator pin by rotating the tool until it lines up with the switch's top slot before tightening both bolts to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.). Next attach the wiring harness connector to the vehicle harness before removing the tool. Install the transmission control lever onto the manual shaft while tightening its nut to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs. Torque). The final step is to finalize the vehicle drop then test the switch functionality to confirm engine start-up is limited to p (Park) and n (Neutral) settings. Move onto the park/neutral position switch adjustment if additional adjustments prove necessary.
