Chapter 2- Drive System: CVT and Transfer Case
8. Rod adjustment is made by lengthening or short-
ening the shift rods to make neutral at the Hurst
gear selector lever correspond with neutral
within the transfer case. See Figure 2.28.

8a. The heavier rod that is connected to the
shift arm nearest the engine controls for-
ward (high range), neutral, and reverse
functions.
8b. Loosen the jam nut, then disconnect the
rod to adjust it using a pair of 9/16"
wrenches.
8c. Thread the rod-end up or down the length
of the threads for adjustment.
8d. The lighter rod that is connected to the shift
arm farthest from the engine shifts the
transfer case between neutral and low
range forward.
8e. Loosen the jam nut using a 1/2" wrench
and a 7/16" wrench, then disconnect the
transfer case end of the rod using a pair of
1/2" wrenches.
9. Snug the jam nuts and remove the locking dowel
after rod adjustment is completed.
10. After the rod adjustment is done, operate the
linkage to confirm that the shift forks move fully
to their engaged detent positions.
• If there is insufficient travel, the stops on the
Hurst shift mechanism can be moved out.
• If the linkages are over-throwing the shift fork
travel, the stops on the Hurst shift mechanism
can be moved in.
• The stops are unlikely to need adjustment in the
normal service life of the utility vehicle. The
most likely reason for the stops to be out of
adjustment would be tampering by unqualified
technicians.
10.1. Remove the console cover / cup holder to gain
access to the stop adjustments.
See Figure 2.29.
10b. Remove the knob from the Hurst gear shift
by turning it counter-clockwise.
10c. Remove the grip from the differential lock
control lever by pulling upward from the
base of the grip. A blow gun may be used
to force the grip off of the lever by shoot-
ing compressed air into the hole at the top
of the grip while lifting upward.
