Abstract
To make it possible to facilitate accurate positioning of an inhibitor switch with respect to an automatic transmission, there is provided a tack-fastening member, which is mounted in advance between a terminal block and a moving block before an inhibitor switch is fixed on an automatic transmission, for tack-fastening the terminal block and moving block at a corresponding rotational position to detect a specific shift position of the automatic transmission, and for being broken at a set torque. By this tack-fastening member, the moving block is temporarily fastened on the terminal block, and the moving block in the temporarily fastened state is fitted on a manual shaft at the specific shift position. After this, the inhibitor switch is fixed on the automatic transmission, and the manual shaft is rotated to break the tack-fastening member from the temporarily fastened state.
