  Q: How to install the park/neutral safety switch assembly onto the manual valve lever shaft on Scion xD?

  A:

  The manual valve lever shaft installation requires an initial provision of the 2 bolts along with a fresh lock plate which should be firmly tightened to 6.9 Nm (70 kgf-cm, 61 in-lbf). The control shaft lever gets provisionally installed before rotating it counterclockwise to its stopping point then clockwise through 2 notches before removal. Fasten the park/neutral position switch assembly at the neutral basic line by tightening its two bolts to 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf). Fitting the nut inside the lock plate requires manual screwdriver insertion before adding the control shaft lever with washer and concluding with a torque specification of 13 Nm (129 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf). Install the connector which will function as the park/neutral position switch assembly. The transmission control cable assembly requires installation onto the control shaft lever with the nut before tightening to 12 Nm (122 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf) torque and fastening to the control cable bracket with a new clip which needs proper alignment of the cable mark with the slit on the transmission control cable bracket. Examine the position of the shift lever together with the assembly of the park/neutral position switch. Screw in the engine under cover LH while tightening it to 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 in-lbf).

  Q: How to remove the Neutral Safety Switch from the U341E automatic transaxle on Scion xD?

  A:

  The removal process for the Neutral Safety Switch on the U341E automatic transaxle begins with the removal of engine under cover LH. To separate the transmission control cable assembly begin by removing its nut then disconnect it from the control shaft lever and clip from the control cable bracket. The next step consists of removing the park/neutral position switch assembly after disconnecting its connector and separating the nut, washer and control shaft lever. The lock plate must be pried apart leaving room to remove the manual valve shaft nut before using a screwdriver to eliminate the 2 bolts necessary for pulling out the position switch assembly.
