Neutral Position Adjustment

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Shift the gear into 3rd gear position.
  2. Shifter arm turns lightly toward the 1st/2nd gear side but heavily toward the reverse gear side because of the function of return spring, until arm contacts the stopper.
  3. Make adjustment so that the heavy stroke (reverse side) is a little more than the light stroke (1st/ 2nd side).
  4. To adjust, remove the bolts holding reverse check sleeve assembly to the case, move the sleeve assembly outward, and place the adjustment shim between sleeve assembly and case to adjust the clearance.
CAUTION: Be careful not to break O-ring when placing shim(s).
NOTE:
  • When the shim is removed, the neutral position will move closer to reverse; when the shim is added, the neutral position will move closer to 1st gear.
  • If the shims alone cannot adjust the clearance, replace the reverse accent shaft and re-adjust.
