Shift Lever Mechanism
The shift lever has five positions; the E, tr, E, E, and tr positions. The E position has two modes; automatic shift
mode and sequential sportshift mode with the shift lever moved to the M position. The shift lever shifts along with the
A/T gear position indicator panel. The shift lever can be shifted out of the E position and into the E position without
pressing the shift lever. The shift lock/reverse lock mechanism is an additional shift lever lockout mechantsm.
The shift lever is engaged with the shift lever link in the E, E, E, E, and E positions. This unit shifts the transmission
using the shift cable connected between the shift cable link and the transmission control shaft.
ln the M position, the shift lever is disengaged from the shift lever link, and the shift lever can be used to shift oears
manually between 1st through 5th, much like a manual transmission.
