ADJUSTMENT

mounting plate is spring steel and functions as an active part of the shifting mechanism.
Modification of this mounting plate may cause improper operation of the shift linkage
resulting in damage to the transmission.
1) Loosen the ball joint jam nut and the cable
mounting nuts on the spring steel mounting plate.
2) Disconnect the coupler from the ball joint at the
transmission.
3) Place the shift lever in forward.
4) Move the transmission shift lever to the forward
detent.
5) Using the cable nuts and/or the ball joint coupler,
adjust the linkage so that the coupler easily slides
onto the ball joint.
6) Tighten all mounting and jam nuts.
7) While slowly rotating the transmission input
sheave, shift the transmission from forward to
reverse and back to forward to confirm proper
adjustment.
8) Reconnect the battery and test drive.
