Checking and Adjusting the
Neutral Position
Service Interval: Every 100 hours
When performing routine maintenance and/or engine
diagnostics, the transaxle must be shifted into neutral
49). The vehicle has a neutral position on the shift lever,
which controls the neutral in the transaxle. The following
steps should be taken to make sure that the neutral shift lever
operates the transaxle neutral correctly:
1. Set the shift lever into the Neutral position.
2. Ensure that the neutral bracket is in the Neutral
position (level to the cable mounting bracket located
below the shift bracket) by turning the driven clutch
(Figure 49).
Note: The vehicle should not roll back and forth. If it
does, manually move the neutral bracket to the Neutral
position.
