Shifter M/T: Adjustments

Gear selector mechanism, adjusting
Requirements
^ Selector mechanism, operating and relay elements must be in proper condition.
^ Selector mechanism must move freely.
^ Transmission, clutch and clutch mechanism must be in proper condition.
^ Transmission in neutral.
- Unscrew gear shift knob from gear shift.

Note: The shift cover is removed together with the cover for the center console.





- Slightly lift off cover for center console upward (arrows -a-).
- Pull cover slightly back (arrow -B-) and lift complete cover off upward.





- Remove noise insulation for selector mechanism housing (arrows).
- Measure distance between body and rear push rod (in selector mechanism).





^ Specification: distance a = 43 mm
If that is not the case, obtain distance -a- as follows:





- Loosen bolt (arrow) for pivot rod.
^ Rear pivot rod (in shift control mechanism) must move freely back and forth on sliding piece.
- Adjust measurement -a- by moving pivot rod rear (in shift control mechanism).
- Tighten bolt for pivot rod to 25 Nm.





- Loosen bolt for selector rod (arrow).
Connection between selector rod and selector mechanism should move freely.
- Adjust gear shift as follows:





^ Gear shift vertical, maximum inclination of 3 to the right (angles)

Note: The illustration shows the gear shift from behind (looking towards the front of the vehicle).





^ Gear shift inclined slightly backwards (approx. 7° angle b)

Note: The illustration shows the gear shift from the right.

- Hold gear shift in this position.
- Tighten selector rod bolt to 25 Nm.

Note: The gear skim must remain in the same position while the halt is being tightened.

Gear shift adjustment, checking
^ The gear shift lever must rest in the 3rd/4th gear gate when transmission is in neutral.
- Check operation of 1st and 2nd gear stop.
- Engage 2nd gear and push gear shift to the left against the stop.
- Reduce pressure on gear shift until it moves back to pressure point.
Spring-back measured at gear shift handle: 3-5 mm
- Check that all gears can be engaged.
- Check operation of reverse gear lock.
^ It should only be possible to engage reverse gear after pressing the gear shift down to overcome the reverse gear lock.
^ It must be possible to move the gear shift, without pushing and without force, forwards from the reverse gear lock to the 3rd/4th gear plane
^ If the gear shift setting is incorrect it can be adjusted as follows:





- Loosen bolt for selector rod (arrow).

Note: The angle of forwards/backwards inclination of the gear shift must not be changed while the following adjustments are being made.





- Move gear shift to the left or to the right until distance "x" is 8.5 mm.
- Hold gear shift in this position.
- Tighten selector rod bolt.





Tightening torques

Selector rod to selector fork (in selector mechanism) 25 Nm
- Check gear shift setting again.
- Fit covers and gear shift knob.
