bottom of the lever. Do not allow the wrench to contact the "rooster comb"
area. Using a 21mm wrench, remove the manual lever retaining nut while securely
holding the inner manual lever.

Thread the nut off the shaft and remove the lever.

- Remove the inner throttle lever and TV lever torsion spring.

- Remove the inner manual lever and parking pawl actuating rod as an assembly.

After removal, the rod may be disengaged from the lever.
