on the engine. The new cable and trunion
CANNOT be connected to the old-style re-
tainer.
INST ALLA TION
Shift Cable End
1- Move the control lever at the shift
control box to the NEUTRAL position. Slide
the gear shift fitting onto the control wire.
Check to be sure the inner wire passes
completely through the small holes in the
cable clamp. Clamp the anchor screws to
prevent twisting the cable. The clamp and
the anchor screws MUST be parallel to the
trunion on the gear shift cable.
2- Notice the flat and rounded areas of
the casting guide. The flat edge MUST face
TOWARD the engine. In this position, there
is a flat area for the lever to ride during the
shifting
action. After the cable is in place

in the casting guide, tighten the top screw
until a definite crimp is made in the cable.
If the screw is not tightened enough, the
inner wire will slip during operation and the
adjustment will be lost.
CRITICAL WORDS
Check the end of the cable to determine
if the temper has been removed. If the end
has a bluish appearance, it has been heated
at an earlier date and the temper removed.
The te mper MUST be re moved to permit the
holding screw to make a crimp in the wire
to hold an adjustment. If the wire has not
been tempered, heat the end, but not enough
to melt the wire. Bring the second screw up
tight against the wire.
3- Insert the shift cable control verti-
cally into the trunion bracket and turn the
cable to a horizontal position, as indicated
by the arrows in the accompanying illustra-
tion.
4- Attach the shift cable end to the
shift lever on the engine by inserting the
fitting into the shift control lever, and then
