CONTROLS DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION<br />

The transmission controls consist of a shift lever<br />

assembly, cross gate cable and two gear change<br />

tubes connected to a pivoting bellcrank.<br />

The shift cable transmits left and right shift lever<br />

movement to the transmission selector shaft.<br />

Movement of this shaft controls the shift gate<br />

selection. A detent plate in the shift lever assembly<br />

limits cable travel to provide proper alignment of<br />

the selector shaft and shift rods within the<br />

transmission. The plate also provides reverse lockout<br />

by requiring that shift lever be lifted up before<br />

it is moved into the reverse gate position.<br />

The gear change tubes transmit fore and aft<br />

motion to the transmission selector shaft, this<br />

movement selects the gear change within the<br />

selected shift gate.<br />

CHECKING ADJUSTMENT<br />

1. Remove screws securing gear shift trim plate<br />

to the console. Lift rear of plate and pull out of<br />

vertical trim plate to gain access to shift lever<br />

assembly. Do not remove completely.<br />

2. With transmission in neutral and shift lever in<br />

3rd-4th gate, shift lever stop pin should be<br />

centred in cross gate guide plate notch.<br />

NOTE: Shift mechanism in transmission is<br />

spring loaded to return to 3rd-4th gate when<br />

shift lever is released. (Fig. 41)<br />

ADJUSTING CABLE<br />

1. Raise vehicle on hoist.<br />

2. Adjust shift cable to centre shrft lever stop pin<br />

lengthening or shortening cable at<br />

transmission. This can be performed by<br />

changing position of cable housing lock nuts at<br />

cable mount bracket or by removing clevis pin<br />

at cable end and turning cable end.<br />

Shortening cable will move shift lever stop pin<br />

to right.<br />

3. Install cable clevis pin and retaining clip or<br />

tighten cable housing lock nuts.<br />

4. Lower vehicle and install gear shift trim plate<br />

on console. (Fig. 42)<br />

GEAR CHANGE TUBE<br />

Perform following adjustment if necessary to move<br />

the position of shift pattern closer to or further<br />

away from driver. The adjustment must also be<br />

performed if either of gear change tubes are<br />

replaced.<br />

1. Raise vehicle on hoist.<br />

2. Loosen lock nut on rear of rear gear change<br />

tube at transmission.
