Shift Lever Mechanism
The shift lever has five positions; P, R, N, D, and D3. D has two modes; automatic shift mode and sequential
shift mode with the shift lever moved to M. The shift lever movement and position is indicated by the A/T gear
position indicator panel. The shift lock/reverse lock mechanism is an additional shift lever lockout mechanism;
the shift lever can be shifted out of P and into R without pressing the shift lever. The shift lever is engaged with
the shift lever link in P, R, N, D, and D3. This unit shifts the transmission using the shift cable connected
between the shift cable link and the transmission control shaft.
In M, the shift lever is disengaged from the shift lever link, and the shift lever can be used to shift gears
manually between 1st through 5th, much like a manual transmission.
NOTE:
When used, "left" or "right" indicates direction on the hydraulic circuit.
