Remedy:

 

Re 1:      Coat shift tube (1) in area of bushing of shift lever housing (1) with new grease, Part No. 90 167 353, Catalogue No. 19 70 206.

              Important:

              The grease specified in TI - C - 59, group K - 77 has only been used for a brief period of time in production, as it caused sluggish shifting when cold. Therefore, in the event of this type of complaint, remove this grease and lubricate with the above grease, moving the gearshift tube (1) in the bushing forwards and backwards in the shift levels 1/2 and 3 / 4.

 

              Remove shift lever as described in the relevant Service Instructions under "Hand Shift Lever, Remove and Install".

              Before installing shift lever, note the following:

              Remove any grease present at shift lever ball, shift finger and their seats. In doing so check damping ring of shift lever ball for damage; if damaged, replace.

              Subsequently coat shift lever ball and shift finger with Grease, Part No. 90 167 353, Catalogue No. 19 70 206 and install shift lever.
