Adjustment, Checking
- Please note the following points:
- The gear shift lever must rest in the 3rd/4th gear gate when transaxle in neutral.
- Check operation of 1st and 2nd gear stop.
- Engage 2nd gear and push gear shift to the left against the stop.
- Reduce pressure on gear shift until it moves back to pressure point.
- Spring-back measured at gear shift handle: .118"-.197" (3-5 mm).
- Check that all gears can be engaged.
- Check operation of reverse gear lock.
- It should only be possible to engage reverse gear after pressing the gear shift down to overcome the reverse gear lock.
- It must be possible to move the gear shift, without pushing and without force, forwards from the reverse gear lock to the 3rd/4th gear plane.
- If the gear shift setting is incorrect it can be adjusted as follows: Loosen bolt for selector rod (arrow). See Figure.
- Move gear shift to the left or to the right until distance (x) is .33" (8.5 mm). Hold gear shift in this position. Tighten selector rod bolt to 18 ft. lbs. (25 N.m).
- Check gear shift setting again. Fit covers and gear shift knob.
NOTE:
The angle of forwards/backwards inclination of the gear shift must not be changed while the following adjustments are being made.
