the surface of the gearcase using Universal Shift

With the gearcase in NEUTRAL, rotate the shift
rod up or down as necessary for correct adjust-
ment. Once correct height is achieved, rotate rod
one half turn or less to direct offset forward.

The NEUTRAL detent is a two-
step design. Make sure the NEUTRAL detent ball
is in the center step before checking shift rod
height.
