CONTROL CABLES
NOTE:
When installing the transmission, moke certain that
shifting is oot impeded by restricted movability of the
Bowden cable or rod linkage, by wu;uitably positioned guide
sheaves, too small a bending radius, etc.
The control cable or rod should be arranged at right angle to
the actuating shift lever when in the neutral position. The
neutral position of the operating lever on the control console
should coincide with the neutral position of this lever.
The shifting travel, as measured at the pivot point of the
actuating lever, between the neutral position and end
positions A and B should be at least 35mm for the outer and
3Dmm for the inner pivot point

NEUTRAL
SHIFT CABLE AND BRACKET
. A greater amount of shift lever travel is in no way
detrimental and is recommended. However, if the lever
travel is shorter, proper clutch engagement might be impeded
which; in tum, would mean premature wear, excessive heat
generation and clutch plate failure. This would be indicated
by slow clutch engagement or no engagement at all.
NOTE
Check for proper lever travel
at
least each season.
