Shift lever does not operate smoothly
Probable cause(s)
Transmission range switch defective or out of adjustment
Shift cable broken, binding, or out of adjustment
Connection between shift cable and transmission or shift lever is worn
Manual valve defective
Selector control shaft worn or damaged
Notes
Inspect the transmission range switch. If the transmission range switch fails the inspection, replace the switch. If the inspection is OK, check for proper transmission range switch installation, and adjust the shift cable.
Check for a loose shift cable at the shift lever and the selector control lever.
Check the manual valve in the main valve body for wear and damage, and check the manual lever guide pin for wear and damage.
