To adjust the shift lever linkage, it may be necessary to
adjust two different rods: (1) the transmission shifter
rod and (2) the clutch actuating rod. See Figures 5 and
6 for the locations of these rods.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Move the shift lever to the neutral position.
3. Disconnect the ball socket from the ball stud on the
transmission shift arm on the transmission. (Pry
apart with a wrench or screwdriver).
4. Make sure the transmission is shifted into neutral.
(Move the transmission arm until the unit will roll
freely.)
5. Move the shift lever to the first gear position.
Rotate the transmission shift arm on the
transmission counterclockwise one position. (This
will be first gear.)
6. Loosen the jam nuts on the ends of the
transmission shifter rod and adjust the ball socket
until it lines up with the ball stud.
7. Snap the ball joint back together and tighten the
jam nuts.
To adjust the clutch actuating rod:
1. Stop the engine.
2. Put the gear shift lever in the neutral position.
3. Loosen the jam nut at the ball joint on the gear shift
lever.
4. Rotate the clutch actuating rod until the clutch arm
which is sticking down through the frame, is at a
right angle with the underside of the frame.
The rod is adjusted correctly when both idlers are
parallel with the transmission belt with tension
(finger pressure) on the back side of transmission
belt (Figure 9).
5. Tighten the lock nut at the ball joint.
