In cases where 5th gear is difficult to shift into neutral, the shift travel may be adjusted too short in the 5th gear gate. The locking panel can no longer return to the original position and binds the shift lever tube.

To release the shift lever from this binding, press the shift lever forward against the stop in the 5th gear gate. This will separate the shift lever tube from the locking panel.

To prevent this condition, lengthen 5th gear travel by adjusting the shift rod coupling.
