Shift Linkage: Service and Repair
GEAR SHIFT CONTROL
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Reverse gear shift limit yoke and bolt are provided to prevent the gear from being directly shifted from 5th to reverse.
1. When lever is shifted to 5th speed, limit yoke turns clockwise by spring action.
2. Shifting from 5th to neutral is available by movement of shift lever with shift shaft while limit yoke stays. However, further shift to reverse is
limited by yoke, spring pin in the yoke and limit bolt.
3. When shift shaft is turned to neutral of 3rd-4th position, shift limit mechanism is canceled by reaction of shift limit spring.
