Q: How do you adjust the automatic transmission linkage and neutral start switch?
A: With the automatic transmission linkage properly adjusted, loosen the two Neutral Safety Switch retaining bolts. Place the transmission selector lever in Neutral. Rotate the switch and insert a No. 43 drill bit (shank end) into the gauge pin holes of the switch. The drill shank must be inserted a full 31/64 inch through all three holes of the switch. Tighten the switch retaining bolts securely, then remove the drill bit from the switch. Check the operation of the switch. The back-up lights should come on only when the transmission is in Reverse and the engine should start only with the transmission lever in Park and Neutral.
A: To raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Check the manual shift linkage. Place the transmission in the Neutral position. Loosen the two MLPS retaining bolts. Using the MLPS adjusting tool, position MLPS and tighten the retaining bolts securely. Remove the jackstands and lower the vehicle.
