Shift Cable: Adjustments

- Place transmission in neutral
- Remove shift knob and boot
- Remove balance weight
- Loosen bolt (A) and nut (B) until gear selector cables and actuating arm/gate selector cable move freely in elongated holes





- Loosen bolt (C)
- Install shift linkage gauge 3192
- Pivot gauge mounting hook under mounting plate and tighten nut (D)
- Press shift lever into left-hand detent of slide
- Press shift lever and slide toward left (direction of arrow) to stop and tighten slide with bolt (E)





- Press shift lever toward right-hand detent (direction of arrow)
- Tighten bolt (C)





- Install wedge and pin
- Slide wedge between gear selector lever and selector cover plate, making sure there is no play

CAUTION: Installing the wedge must not lift the transmission gearshift lever.

- In this position secure gear selector cable and actuating arm/selector cable, and check position of wedge
- Remove shift linkage gauge 3192
- Install shift lever and boot





Functional check
- Place transmission in neutral
- Place shift lever in 3rd gear (3GR)/4th gear (4GR) gate
- Depress the clutch pedal and start engine
- Wait approximately 3-6 seconds, to allow the transmission input shaft to come to a standstill
- Select each gear several times, checking all gears. Pay particular attention to operation of reverse gear pawl.
Should any gear fail io engage smoothly after being selected repeatedly, the selector shaft play (lift) should be checked as follows:
^ Select 1st gear
^ Press shift lever to left, to stop, then release. At the same time observe selector shaft on transmission (requires help of a second technician)
- When moving the shift lever, the selector shaft must move approx. 1 mm (0.04 in) in the direction of the arrow. Readjust as follows if necessary

Shift lever movement incorrect:





- Disengage 1st gear
- Loosen nut (A) at actuating arm/gate selector cable mounting
- Gate selector cable has some play at mounting due to transfer elements--minimal play at mounting is normal
- Take up gate selector cable play by lightly pressing mounting toward bulkhead (arrow)
- Tighten nut (A) in this position

CAUTION:
- Achieving a correct adjustment of the gear selector mechanism requires the following:
- Shift linkage and transfer elements operating correctly
- Rubber bushings (for mounting the selector cables to all operating elements) in good condition (not worn)
- Selector cables operate smoothly
- Transmission, clutch and clutch release mechanism in good condition
