*NOTE: To determine if shifting difficulty or problem is caused by an internal transmission problem, isolate the
transmission by disconnecting linkage rods from transmission bellcranks. Manually select each gear range at
the transmission bellcrank, and test ride vehicle. If it functions properly, the problem is outside the transmission.
If transmission problem remains, disassemble transmission and inspect all gear dogs for wear (rounding), dam-
age. Inspect all bearings for wear.
