Read all of Section B and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to Notices, Cautions, Warnings and Dangers.
replacing. It is not necessary to remove the direction
selector assembly to replace the reverse buzzer or
micro switch.
Prior to removing the direction selector from the body,
the battery negative (-) cable(s) must be disconnected to
prevent the possibility of electrical spark or 'shorting out'
the battery, either of which could result in an explosion
and severe personal injury or death.
Unscrew knob from the direction selector handle (Ref
Fig. 1 on page F-1). Remove the two screws attaching
the direction selector bracket to the center console and
remove direction selector from vehicle.
Install in reverse order of removal.
After replacing direction selector, the shift lever must be
checked for proper operation of the direction selector
and cables must be checked for correct length to insure
full engagement of 'Forward' and 'Reverse' at the rear
axle when selected by the shift lever. See 'Shift Cable
Adjustment' on the same page.
Replacing the Reverse Warning Buzzer
Tools List
Qty.
Test Leads ................................................................... 2
Straight Blade Screwdriver .......................................... 1
Wrench, 5/16" .............................................................. 1
Before replacing the warning buzzer, test it to insure it is
not working properly. To test the reverse warning buzzer,
carefully remove the two electrical wires from the
buzzer. Using two test leads, attach one lead to each
terminal. Touch the loose end of one wire to the positive
(+) battery terminal and the other wire to the negative (-)
terminal. If the buzzer is in good condition the buzzer will
sound. If no sound is heard, the buzzer must be
replaced.
Remove the wires from the failed buzzer and attach the
wires to the replacement buzzer. Test as above to insure
replacement buzzer is in good condition. After restoring
power, test the wiring to insure it is operational by con-
necting wires to replacement buzzer and moving the
direction selector to 'REVERSE' position before continu-
ing. Once it is determined that the buzzer and wiring are
good, remove the failed buzzer from the direction selec-
tor assembly and replace with new buzzer.
Replacing a Micro Switch
Tools List
Qty.
Digital Volt Ohm Meter (DVOM)...................................1
Phillips Screwdriver......................................................1
Wrench, 5/16" ..............................................................1
Socket, 5/16"................................................................1
Torque Wrench, in. Ibs. ................................................1
To test a micro switch, carefully remove the two electri-
cal wires from the switch terminals. Using a DVOM set
to 'continuity', test the switch continuity by operating the
switch to insure it is not good before continuing. Once it
is determined that the switch is not good, remove the
failed switch from the direction selector assembly, keep-
ing the spacer for reuse, and replace with new micro
switch. Tighten the brass screw attaching the wires to
the switch and the screws attaching the switch to the
assembly to 8 - 11 in. Ibs. (0.7 - 0.9 Nm) torque.

To assure proper engagement of the transmis. . sian, the shift
cable length must be maintained.
The direction selector is a mechanical device that oper-
ates cables connected to the rear axle. The cables are
sealed and do not require lubrication, but may require
occasional adjustment. The factory installed length of 1
3/8" (3.5 cm) must be maintained (Ref Fig. 2). The only
other maintenance required is periodic lubrication of the
linkage and related moving parts.
