The

A

installed
on

the
bottom
of

the
inner

lever
slides
the

of
the

and

thus
the

The

pin
is

held
in
the

on
the

top
of
the
inner

The

parking

pin
operates
the

at
p

range
and

operates
the

mechanical

system

Moreover
the
above
described

manual
shaft
is

equipped
with
an

inhibitor
switch
A

rotor
inside
the

inhibitor
switch
rotates
in

response
to

each

When
the

range
is
selected

at
p
or
N
the

rotor
closes
the

starter

circuit
so
that
the

engine
can

be
started
When

the

Vacuum

diaphragm

The
vacuum

diaphragm
is
installed

un
the
left

center

portion
of
the

transmission

The

internal
con

of
the
vacuum

diaphragm
is

as
follows
A
rubber

diaphragm
forms

a

partition
in
the

The

are

applied
to
the
front
surface
of
the

rubber

and

atmospheric

pressure
is

applied
to
the

surface

A
difference
between

to

the
front

be

comes
a

vacuum

thus

the

similar
to
the

atmospheric

and
the

vacuum

increases

since

the

of

Contrarily
when

or
when

the

Thus
a

When

the

The

is
a

and

regulates
the

and
the

circuit
17
is

about
to

open
In

this

the
throttle

16
becomes
lower

than
the

line

by
the

When

the

engine

is

high
the

negative
pressure
in
the

intake

line

rises

similar
to
the

atmospheric
