Gunboat Posted October 10, 2012 Report Posted October 10, 2012 ok,got the used tranny back in (it came out of a 92 Grand Prix)..now,for some reason it refuses to go into D2 or D1, it doesn't want to start in park,..it will start in reverse...do I have to adjust the shift cable or something? I kept the shifter in park the whole time I was working on it..I put the shift on the tranny into park,( I believe that I had it in park...)Seeing as how the lever will only go on one way because of the flats on it,could I have not gotten it into park? Isn't park turned all the way one way?BTW,my car is a Z34 1992..3.4L..any help here is appreciated..thanks in advance.. Quote
RobertISaar Posted October 10, 2012 Report Posted October 10, 2012 i BELIEVE when you do anything shift position switch related, you're supposed to do it based off of the neutral position. Quote
Gunboat Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Posted October 11, 2012 That is what the book said,I was just wanting to make sure taht I didn't do something wrong,thank you for the info.. Quote
Crazy K Posted October 15, 2012 Report Posted October 15, 2012 this is an adjustment issue with the range switch wich is the large flat assembly under the lever. Quote
pshojo Posted October 15, 2012 Report Posted October 15, 2012 When I replaced my switch, I must be lucky. Slapped it on and no problems. I might have had it in neutral... Quote
Crazy K Posted October 15, 2012 Report Posted October 15, 2012 When I've done it, I chocked the tires and placed the car in reverse, key on, engine off. I adjusted it to the midpoint where the reverse lights are on and tightened it down. checked all functions (start in P and N only) and called it good. Quote
RobertISaar Posted October 15, 2012 Report Posted October 15, 2012 on the newer stuff, there are actually two little see-through dots on the cluster or console around the N position, from what i understand, that's what they're there for. i don't remember seeing them on the earlier setups though.
