SERVICING YOUR LAWN MOWER
Shift Cable Adjustment
Shift cable adjustment is necessary if the shift lever will not smoothly
select each gear.
1. Starting from 3rd gear, cycle the shift lever through all three gears
and listen for the transmission detent click sound for each gear.
2. From 3rd gear, move the shift lever back to 2nd then to the 1st
gear position and listen for the 1st gear transmission detent click.
The shift lever should select 1st gear (indicated by the click sound)
just before contacting the stopper plate. Actual distance should be
1/64 - 5/64 in (0.5 - 2 mm).
3. If the above conditions are not met, loosen the lock nuts with a
10 mm wrench and move the adjuster up or down as necessary.
Tighten the lock nuts and recheck shift lever operation.
4. Operate the mower outdoors and move the shift lever into each
gear. Release the drive clutch lever before moving the shift lever.
Make sure the transmission shifts properly into all three gears.
If the transmission does not shift properly, with the correct cable
adjustment, take the mower to an authorized Honda servicing
dealer for repair.
