The adjustment of the shift lever on the transmissjon when attaching
the shift control cable to it, is of prime importance to ensure proper
clutch engagement and long service life for the transmission.
The control cable, when attached to the transmission shift arm ball
joint connector, should be attached so as to be at a 90· angle wi th
the
lever
and
transmission
in
the
neutral
posi tion.
(Ref.
Illustration. )
The transmission shift arm can be rotated on the transmission side
cover
shifting
shaft
by
loosening
the
securing
bolt
(13mm)
and
rotating the shift arm to produce the 90· angle between the arm and
the
shift cable when
the
transmission is in neutral.
Insure
that
there is at least .020 inch clearance between the shift arm and the
shift cover before retightening the securing bolt.
The shift cable and pedestal control must allow the transmission shift
arm
to move
from
the
neutral posi tion
into the forward or
reverse
engagement a MINIMUM of
