DESCRIPTION & OPERATION 

EXTERNAL CONTROLS 

The transmission shift cable transfers the transmission operating mode from the gearshift lever to the automatic 
transmission. The indicated position of the transmission control selector lever is transferred to the transmission 
through the steering column shift selector tube, then to the cable, and down to the instruction control lever on the 
transmission. 

Shift Interlock System 

The shift interlock system prevents the shifting from PARK unless the brake pedal is depressed. The shift 
interlock system consists of a shift lock actuator mounted at the base of the steering column tube. If the ignition 
switch is in the RUN position, the shift lock actuator is continually on unless the brake pedal is depressed. 

Transmission Control Switch (TCS) 

The Transmission Control Switch (TCS) is a momentary contact switch that is located on the end of the 
transmission control selector lever. Pushing the TCS will either disengage or engage the overdrive function of 
the transmission. If the OVERDRIVE is disengaged, the word "OFF" will illuminate on the transmission 
control selector lever.
