The purpose of this bulletin is to provide information regarding transmission and/or park neutral position switch installation. If the manual shift lever is rotated prior to installing the park neutral position switch, the detent spring may become detached from the manual shift lever. If the detent spring becomes detached from the shift lever, remove the spring and reinstall onto the shift lever.

This example shows the detent spring in proper place on the shift lever (again, transmission oil pan removed for ease of viewing).
