10d. Unbolt the console cover / cup holder using
a 9/16" wrench to remove the two screws
that hold the back of the console cover. A
9/16" wrench can also be used to loosen
the two screws that secure the front edge
of the cover through slotted holes.
10e. Lift the cover off to remove it.
11. Push the Hurst lever straight forward to engage
high-range forward gear.
12. Pulling gently back on the lever to take-up play
in the linkage, there should be 1/16" (1.5mm) of
clearance between the lever and the tip of the
forward stop bolt (mounted at the rear of the
mechanism).
NOTE: A 1/16" or 1.5mm allen wrench makes a
suitable feeler gauge, positioned so that the flats
(not the peaks) are spanning the gap between
the stop bolt and the lever.
NOTE: Do not adjust the travel to make-up for
out-of adjustment shift rods. Travel stop adjust-
ment is merely for confirmation and is not likely
to need adjustment in the normal life of the vehi-
cle.
13. If adjustment is necessary, loosen the jam nut
and tighten or loosen the bolt using a 9/16"
wrench. See Figure 2.30.

14. When adjustment is complete:
14a. Snug the jam nut.
14b. Move the lever into reverse
14c. Repeat the adjustment in the opposite
direction on the reverse stop bolt.
15. Test the operation of the drive system in safe
area. Confirm that:
15a. The vehicle does not try to move in neutral
15b. The gear selector lever works smoothly
and easily, providing solid "feel" for each
gear.
15c. Each gear engages fully. A partially
engaged gear may "jump out" when
power is applied.
NOTE: Other mechanical causes may cause the
vehicle to jump out of gear, e.g.: worn or missing
detent spring, damaged shift fork, damaged shift
dogs. Of those issues, only the detent balls and
springs can be reached without removing the
transfer case from the vehicle.
16. Install the console cover / cup holder, gear
selector knob, and rear differential lock control
lever grip.
