What is wrong
Transaxle shift control cable may disengage from shift control cable bracket, causing loss of gear indicator reference, and shift selector operation.
The risk
The disengaged cable could falsely indicate transmissiongear position, and the vehicle might be left in reverse or drive when the drivermoved the gear selector to park or the opposite direction. A vehicle left on anincline without parking brakes when the gear selector is placed in park couldmove. Either case results in unexpected vehicle movement without prior warningand could cause a vehicle accident.
The fix
Install a transaxle shift control cable retaining clip on the shift control cable bracket on top of transaxle.
