Troubleshooting Checklist

Check the following items when shifting difficulty is encountered.
• Idle speed adjustment
• PVT alignment
• Transmission oil type/quality
• Transmission torque stop adjustment (where applicable)
• Engine torque stop adjustment (where applicable)
• Drive belt deflection
• Loose fasteners on rod ends
• Loose fasteners on selector box
• Worn rod ends, clevis pins, or pivot arm bushings
• Linkage rod adjustment and rod end positioning
• Shift selector rail travel
• *Worn, broken or damaged internal transmission components
NOTE: To determine if shifting difficulty or problem is caused by an internal transmission problem, isolate
the transmission by disconnecting linkage rod from transmission bellcrank. 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),
damage. Inspect all bearings, circlips, thrust washers and shafts for wear.
