Inspect the Gearshift Mechanism

Inspect The Gearshift Mechanism

1. Inspect the cables for:

- signs of damage.

- brokenlocks.

- binding.

- cables not fully seated or in hold-down brackets.

- correct routing.

- correct adjustment.

- If the concern is a gear(s) cannot be selected, jumps out of gear or gear clashes, adjust the cables. Refer to Gearshift Cable Adjustment MTX-75 Transaxle, Gearshift Cable Adjustment iB5 Transaxle or Gearshift Cable Adjustment MT-285 Transaxle. Adjustments

2. Inspect the gearshift for:

- free play in the gearshifi lever (must be no more than 15 mm).

- If the gearshifi lever free play is too great, check the gearshift cables and repair as necessary.

- If the gearshift lever free play is OK, adjust the gearshift linkage.
