Discovery Series II: Correct Installation of AT Selector Knob

SITUATION:





When fitting the automatic transmission selector knob after a service repair, the park release button rod can be damaged. The damage can result from incorrectly positioning the gear selector when the selector knob is fitted. (Figure 1)

RESOLUTION:





When fitting the automatic transmission selector knob, the selector MUST be in the PARK (P) position (Figure 2) to ensure that:

^ The latching rod is not damaged

^ The latching rod does not cause damage to the raised segments of the selector detents.
