Outback L.L.Bean Edition AWD F6-3.0L (2002)
The drawing below shows the state of the reverse check mechanism when the selector arm is in the neutral position. The 1st and 2nd gears will be
selected if the selector arm is moved leftward from this point to a stop and then turned in either way. A rightward movement of the arm to a stop will
enable selection of the 5th and reverse gears. In the neutral position, the selector arm receives a rightward force (force toward the 5th and reverse gear
side) from the 1st return spring and a leftward force (force toward the 1st and 2nd gear side) from the reverse return spring to stay in that position.
The following explanation describes how the selector arm and reverse check mechanism operate when the driver selects the 5th gear and then selects
the reverse gear.
1. WHEN SELECTOR ARM IS MOVED TOWARD 5TH AND REVERSE GEAR SIDE
The selector arm moves rightward while pushing both the reverse accent shaft and reverse check cam simultaneously.
2. WHEN SHIFT IS MADE TO 5TH GEAR
