How to adjust the Park/Neutral switch on Chevrolet Astro and GMC Safari?

For 1995 and earlier models, ensure the engine starts only in Park or Neutral. The switch is at the steering column's bottom. Set the parking brake and selector in Neutral. Rotate the switch to Low, then to Park to set correctly. If malfunctioning, replacement might be needed. For removal, set to Neutral, disconnect electrical connectors, and spread tangs to pull out the switch. For installation, align the tang with the shift tube hole, press onto the column, and adjust. For 1996 and later, apply the brake, set to Neutral, disconnect the battery, and raise the vehicle. Remove the lever, connector, and switch retaining bolts. File burrs on the shaft if found. Install using an adjustment tool, align switch hub flats, secure with bolts, install the lever, and test the switch.
