Transmission Range Switch

Thanks for making the video, it's a great help 👍.

To add a little bit more detail to the procedure. I never disconnected the transmission shift rod from the lever. I unbolted the plastic cover in the middle of the lever connecting the shift rod to the sensor. Then using a very fine flathead screwdriver(you may ruin the screwdriver), pry the bent aluminum tab away from the nut on the rod through the sensor. Take off the 12mm nut, the piece that was bent, the lock washer, and the lever. Using 22mm wrench take off the large nut that compresses the sensor collet to the trans shaft. Remove the 2 10mm bolts holding the sensor to trans. If the sensor won’t come lose, you will have to thread the 22mm nut partially on and use a 2 or 3 jaw puller latching behind the nut and pressing the center on the shaft. Note-do not remove the thin metal pointer. Assembly is in reverse, and will need rotational adjustment of sensor to align shifter with dash lights; otherwise shifting will be off and might get a check engine light.

How did you remove the outer most nut on the TRS shaft. It's a 12mm nut... that holds metal securing tab>pressure washer>shifter metal lever>TRS? The metal securing tab is heavy duty on the 2007 MDX. Any tricks or tips would be greatly appreicated.

Thanks for the video. Couple of questions. What were the symptoms beforehand and did they immediately go away after replacement? Was the D5 light blinking?
