TRANSMISSION CONTROL CABLE ADJUSTMENT

PROCEDURE

1. ADJUST CONTROL SELECT CABLE

   Tip:

   • After the shift lever or transmission control cable assembly is replaced, be sure to adjust the control select cable.

   • If the shift lever cannot be moved (or the shift lever is difficult to move) to 1 or 2, or if it is possible to move the shift lever to R without pulling up the slider shaft, the length of the cable must be adjusted.

   1. 

      Pinch the areas indicated by the arrows and disconnect the control select cable.
