5. Check the shift cable adjustment in forward shift position. The correct shift
adjustment will position the cam far enough on the roller to lock the
reverse gate into forward position. Push on the reverse gate by hand to
verify it is locked into position. The reverse gate should not move when
pushed toward the neutral position.
IMPORTANT: The forward locking of the reverse gate must be met. If not,
readjust the shift cable.
