External Controls-Floor Shift
The transaxle shift control linkage consists of:
- a steering column or floor-mounted transaxle range selector lever.
- a shift cable connecting the steering column to the transaxle range selector lever.
- an ignition/shifter interlock cable on floor-shift vehicles which connects the transaxle range selector lever to the steering column lock assembly.
- an ignition/shift interlock actuator that is integral to the ignition/shift interlock cable.
The ignition/shifter interlock cable:
- locks the transaxle range selector lever in the PARK position when the ignition switch is in the LOCK position.
- requires the transaxle range selector lever to be in the PARK position to turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
