Shift Control and Cables
Shift control and shift cable must position transmission shift lever exactly as stated
in this manual, or transmission, as a result of improper shift lever positioning, will
not be covered by Velvet Drive Warranty.
IMPORTANT: Velvet Drive Warranty is jeopardized if the shift lever poppet ball or
spring is permanently removed, or if shift lever is repositioned or changed in any
manner.
Remote control also 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
eventually fail.
