ADJUST SHIFT LEVER LINKAGE
IMPORTANT: If the shift lever and the transmission detent
are improperly aligned, the transmission may fail
prematurely. Align the shift lever and detent as carefully as
possible. The .030 in. (.8mm) clearance helps prevent
premature wear of the detent plate and shift lever.
The transmission shift lever is attached to the transmission
shift arm with two 5/16-18 bolts (Figure 12).
