Could someone please define the word ..... =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 "D e t e n t" =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Willy took time off from the wash rack to help ole Marsh out with .........

Ya...dun reckon I kin do it...

A "detent" is one of those little stopping points in slider switches, tranny shifters, some fancy-dancy volume controls and for those old enough to remember--manual TV "knob style" TV tuners have them as you rotate thru the channels.

So there you go...hope that helped, even if I think you already knew...

If by chance you unhooked the linkage this could be aout of ajustment. When you shift are you able to feel the clicks of the detent. Should be one coming out of park into revers, one for neutral then one for drive 1 drive 2 and low gear. If not, re ajust the linkage by un-lossening the shift rod at the colum then go under the truck shift the transmission into park, lift your shift selector into park and tighten the ajusting bolt.

Another way to test for mis ajustment, does the truck start in park or neutral now. The neutral switch is located on the transmission.
