Assembly


The lower side of the spring (- arrow 1 - in N34-10865) can spring down uncontrolled from the selector bracket shoulder during subsequent handling.

- Carefully press it down from the selector bracket shoulder.

The spring sides then twist "diagonally" with a loud noise.

- Turn both springs to the right and release the tension on the ends - A and B -.

• The ends - A and B - must face in the opposite direction.






- Insert the shift lever guide and the shift lever in the shift housing.






• The pins - arrow 1 - are still located in the shift housing opening.

- Turn the shift lever guide in the - direction of arrow 2 - until the ball head pin - A - is above the opening in the shift housing.

- Install the shift housing with shift lever guide into the larger depression - arrow - in the thrust block (T10083).






• The shift lever guide must project out of the shift housing as far as the stop.






• The selector bracket is only partially shown to provide a better illustration.

- Insert the spring side - A - from above into the guide.

- Pull the spring side - B - down and insert it near the guide (in the direction of the ball head).

- Carefully remove the shift housing with the shift lever guide from the thrust block (T10083).

- Move the selector bracket all the way to the rear (opposite the mounting holes for the shift and selector cable) - arrow 1 -.






- Lubricate the ball head pins.

- Press the ball head pins into the selector bracket - arrow 2 -.

• The guides - A - and the tabs - B - must not be damaged.

- Install the shift housing with shift lever guide into the larger depression - arrow - in the thrust block (T10083).






• The shift lever guide must project out of the shift housing as far as the stop.






- Raise the upper side of the spring - A - over the selector bracket pins.

• Use a new bearing shell - B -.

- Lubricate the bearing shell and shift lever guide bearing.

- Press the bearing shell onto the shift lever guide bearing as far as the stop.

- Remove the shift mechanism from the thrust block (T10083).

- Press the bearing shell into the shift housing - arrows -.

• All four retaining tabs must engage.

- Insert the lower side - C - of the spring into the guide.

- Raise the upper side of the spring - A - over the selector bracket pins into the guide.

- Install the shift and selector cables. Refer to => [ Shift Lever and Housing, from 11.06 ] Shift Lever and Housing, From 11.06.
