Description
Park Mechanism
The park mechanism locks the transmission by engaging the park pawl with
the park gear which is integral with the sec-
ondary drive gear' The secondary drive gear engages with the secondary driven gear
which engages wit-h the final driven
gear.
shifting to E position causes the park cone (installed at the end of the park rod)
to press the park pawl onto the park gear.
Even if the end of the park pawl rides on the top of the park gear teeth, slight
movement of the vehicle will cause the park
pawl and the park gear to mesh with each other completely
because the park cone receives the tension from the park rod
spring The park pawl receives the tension (which acts to separate the park pawl
from the park gear) from the park pawl
spring.
