Transmission question
Hey everyone I am having an issue with my Park/Neutral switch I am hooping someone can help. The reason the title says transmission is because the switch is attached to the transmission and I am not totally sure that my problem is the transmission but something else. Earlier this month I posted a thread about a starting issue but instead of going through all that again here is the post and you can catch up:
https://www.cadillacforum.com/forum/...ead.php?t=9176 Now with my starting problem I have traced the power all the way to the park/neutral switch and that is as far as it is going. I took the switch off and checked the continuity from the yellow(power) wire to the purple(to starter) and I was getting no reading. I then put the switch on the neutral switch and I got a reading then I put it on the park position and again I got a reading but when I checked the switch in the park position to the transmission bolt holes they do not match up so I am unable to attach the switch back on. If I put the switch to the Neutral then I am able to attach but I am not able to reach the park position once I do that hence why I was not getting power to my starter. Now I did have the transmission rebuilt a couple of years ago and just recently replaced the switch because the car stopped working. Since then I have not gotten one crank unless I jump the starter. Today I will put back the old switch and see if that is the problem meaning that the switch I bought is incorrect but I doubt that is the issue since I checked them side by side and they match exactly. My question I ask you guys has to do with the transmission. Is it possible to adjust the shift lever at the transmission without having to drop and open it up? I need to move the the shifter about one inch to the side so both Park and Neutral positions are reached while attached to the transmission... |
