Gearchange Cable Adjustment
Both gearchange cables, crossgate and select, are of fixed length. Fore/aft adjustment is provided via
slotted fixing holes in the transmission end abutment bracket, with crossgage adjustment catered for by an
adjustable length tie rod between transmission end bellcrank lever and selector shaft.
With the gearchange mechanism assembled, and the transmission in neutral:
1. Fore/aft position: Viewed from the side,
the lower part of the gear lever (before
the rearward bend) should be vertical,
or leaning very slightly to the rear. If
necessary, slacken the two fixing bolts
on the transmission end cable abutment
bracket, and move forwards or back-
wards to achieve the specified lever po-
sition.
Tighten the two bolts:
Front M12 bolt; 77 Nm
Rear M10 bolt; 45 Nm.
