There should be no resistance in the shift lever, and
the wheels should keep turning.
If you feel resistance when moving the shift lever or
the wheels stop when they should not, loosen the
jam nut on the traction control cable and unthread
the cable one turn.
•
If the wheels do not stop when you engage the
traction control grip, loosen the jam nut on the
traction control cable and thread the cable in one
turn.
