Shift Linkage: Adjustments

Adjustment
- Transmission in neutral.
- Remove shift knob and cover.
- Remove front and rear crossmembers.
- Remove heat shield so that connecting bolt for shift rods is accessible.






- Remove connecting bolt (arrow), shown here with three way catalytic converter and heat shield removed.
- Position shift lever vertically.






- Align lever so that both lugs on ball stop are same distance -a- from ball housing.
- Tighten connecting bolt (see image above), making sure that position of lever does not change while doing so.

Checking Function
- Shift lever must be in 3rd/4th gear plane in neutral position.
- Shift through all gears. Make sure that reverse safety catch is effective, otherwise loosen bolts for ball housing and turn ball housing slightly.
