Shift Cable:
- pulled when 1st, 3rd and 5th gears are selected
- pushed when 2nd, 4th and 6th gears are engaged.
Mechanical Transmission Cable For Lateral Travel:
- pulled when the gear selector lever is moved to the position between 1st and 2nd gears
- pushed when the gear selector lever is moved to the position below 5th and 6th. Gives maximum lateral movement when the lever is moved to back-up (reverse) gear.
There is a return spring on the lateral movement lever. The control unit in the transmission has a return spring.
The mechanical transmission cable for lateral travel is adjustable lengthwise. The adjuster is positioned on the mounting towards the lever on the transmission (1). The spring in the gear selector assembly pulls the mechanical cable and then the mechanical cable is locked by hand using the catch. When locking the gear selector lever and the components in the transmission must be in neutral position.
