SERVICE MANUAL NUMBER 23
IMPORTANT: Be certain anchor stud is installed in the front hole as shown in the illus-
tration following.
Remote control must provide a total shift cable travel (at transmission end) of at least 2-3/4
in. (70 mm). This is necessary to position transmission shift lever fully in the forward and
reverse gear positions. Insufficient shift cable travel will cause transmission to slip and even-
tually fail.
IMPORTANT: The distance between studs (Dimension C) shown in the following illus-
tration is set at 7-1/8 in. (318 mm).
IMPORTANT: When installing shift cables, be sure that cables are routed in such a
way as to avoid sharp bends and/or contact with moving parts. DO NOT fasten any
items to shift cables.
