3.10 Install and adjust shifter lever.
a) Remove the 3/8" nyloc nut and spring disc washer from the stud on top of the
transmission. Install the shifter lever through slot in shifter lever plate and
onto the stud on top of transmission. Be sure the square-hole washer
remains between the lever and transmission. Replace the spring disc washer
and nyloc nut (see figure 4). Torque the 3/8" nut to 35ft-lbs. (47N.M).
b) Shift lever to second gear and check alignment of lever in slot of shifter plate.
Clearance between top of lever and the top of the slot should be about equal to
the clearance between bottom of the lever and the bottom of the slot (See
figure 5). If it is not, remove lever and bend it slightly to adjust. DO NOT bend
lever while it is attached to transmission. Reinstall lever and tighten hardware.
c) Shift to neutral position. Lever should not contact the left edged of the upper
slot. Push lever down. Lever should not contact the right edge of the bottom
slot (See Figure 6). Shifter plate can be adjusted side to side to adjust position
of lever relative to the slot in plate. Loosen the two bolts securing the shifter
plate to the shifter lever legs. Adjust shifter plate and retighten bolts.

3.11 Install and adjust wheel drive linkages.
a) Locate the (2) drive lever linkages which have a balljoint and jam nut installed
on one end.
Locate the (2) 5/16-18x1-3/4 hex head cap screws and (2) 5/16-18 nyloc nuts
in the bolt bag.
NOTE: During set up at the factory, an "L" or "R" may have been marked on
the flats of the balljoints. If the balljoints are marked, assemble accordingly.
If the balljoints are not marked, they may be assembled on either side.
Thread the linkage into the swivel located on the wheel drive idler arm.
Thread in until the flat edge of the drive lever aligns with the bottom of the
roller notch in the neutral lock/park brake latch when the cap screw is inserted
through the hole in the drive lever and the hole in the ball joint. Secure with a
nyloc nut. Tighten nyloc nut. Repeat for the other side. See figures 7 and 8.
