Adjusting
The selector lever cable must always be adjusted when its position has been changed. The reason is that the → core changes its position in the sleeve every time a change is made, which may have a negative effect on the adjustment.
Changes in the position of the cable may be caused by
t  Removing and installing gearbox
t  Removing and installing exhaust system
t  After loosening assembly mountings, for example when the engine and gearbox are “rocked” to remove tension
–  Move selector lever to “P” position.
   
–  Loosen bolt -2- for front ball socket.
–  Move selector shaft lever on gearbox to position “P”. Locking lever must engage in parking lock wheel so that both front wheels are blocked (cannot be turned together in same direction).
–  Tighten bolt -2- to 8 Nm.
–  Check selector mechanism → Chapter.
