Shift Linkage Adjustment - High/Low/Reverse, Cont.
7. Be sure the shift linkage rod ends are firmly attached
to the gear selector slides. Adjust the low range
(inside) rod so the rod end is centered on the
transmission bell crank (or centered on the pivot arm
on Sportsman 500 style). Install the lock nut to the
rod end and torque to 35 in. lbs.
8. Rotate the linkage rod clockwise until resistance is
felt.
Mark the rod so revolutions can be easily
counted. See Ill. 3 at right.
9. Rotate the linkage rod counterclockwise until the
same resistance is felt, counting the revolutions as
the rod is turned.
10. Turn the rod clockwise again one half of the
revolutions counted in Step 9.
11. Tighten the rod end jam nuts securely while holding
the rod end. The jam nuts must be tightened with
both front and rear rod ends parallel to each other. If
jam nuts are properly tightened, the rod should rotate
freely 1/4 turn without binding.
12. Repeat steps 7-10 for the High/Reverse rod.
