When the system is operating properly, the exclamation point will display when
the shift lever is directly on the tooth above the slot for "Neutral" gear. If the
exclamation point displays when the lever is just moved out of the neutral slot, or
does not display until the lever is almost in the slot for "Reverse," the shifter must
be adjusted.
To adjust the shifter:
1. Ensure that the vehicle is safely parked on a level surface with the ignition
off.
2. Locate the shift lever Heim under the hood, directly to the left of the
steering column as viewed from the front of the machine.
3. Remove the Heim from the shifter lever assembly by removing the retaining
nut.
4. Thread the Heim either clockwise or counterclockwise depending on
whether the shifter needs to be adjusted up or down as established by the
alignment test. Adjust the Heim in increments of ½ turn.
5. Re-attach the Heim to the shifter assembly, and test the shifting system.
After every 2 or 3 adjustments, start the vehicle and travel forward 10 feet, then
backwards 10 feet before attempting the next adjustment. This will allow the
system to relieve any excess pressure.
