VELVET DRIVE 5000V V-DRIVE TRANSMISSION
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.
8. Place remote control shift lever and transmission shift lever in neutral position.
9. Remove nuts and washers from shift cable attaching studs.
