Servicing shift mechanism
Checking gear stick alignment
-
● The gear stick must rest in the 3rd/4th gear gate when the gearbox is in neutral.
-
‒ Depress clutch.
-
‒ Check that all gears can be engaged.
-
‒ Check operation of reverse gear lock.
-
‒ Put gear stick into the 5th/reverse gear gate and move stick towards reverse gear (without applying excessive pressure on the gear stick).
-
‒ The amount of travel until contact is made with reverse gear stop should be 5 ... 10 mm (measured at gear stick knob).
-
‒ Reduce pressure on gear stick to let it move back.
-
‒ The gear stick should return by itself from the 5th/reverse gear gate into the 3rd/4th gear gate.
-
‒ Check fine adjustment if necessary.
Fine adjustment
-
● If the gear stick setting is incorrect it can be adjusted as follows:
-
‒ Slacken nuts for ball housing.
-
‒ Move gear stick with ball housing to the right towards 5th/reverse gear gate as far as the stop in the gearbox, and hold in this position.
-
‒ When doing this push the ball housing to the left against the gear stick.
-
‒ Then hold gear stick and ball housing in this position and tighten.
-
‒ Fit covers and gear stick knob.
Note:
If only 5th and reverse gear cannot be engaged, the 5th and reverse gear locking unit should be checked and replaced if necessary =>Page 34-121.
