Shift Linkage: Adjustments
Adjusting Shift Linkage
1. Check that play in linkage is not too large. If too large, replace bushings.
2. Check selector lever positions. Engage D and move lever against gate. Clearance should be same or greater than clearance in position 2.
3. Adjust rod length if necessary:
Rough adjustment:
Screw clevis in or out (clevis may be attached to front of rod on some models).
Fine adjustment:
Turn knurled sleeve as required. Max. visible thread length 35 mm (1.38 in). Increasing rod length reduces clearance in position D and
increases clearance in position 2.
After adjustment:
Engage position 1 and then P. Repeat test according to step 2.
NOTE: Check if linkage mechanism inside transmission is defective.
4. Checking Start Inhibitor Switch. Remove gear selector cover. Check that N and P marks on inhibitor switch are opposite switch lever (A) in
positions N and P respectively.
