Shift Linkage: Description and Operation

EXTERNAL CONTROLS
The manual transaxle is controlled by a floor-mounted gearshift lever located in the floor console. Connection between the floor mounted gear shift lever and the manual transaxle gear shift control mechanism is made through two shift cables.

Principles of Operation
When the operator moves the floor mounted gearshift lever, located in the floor console, that movement is transmitted through two shift cables routed through the body between the floor console to the transaxle. The two shift cables are attached to the transaxle at the shift control assembly. The shift control assembly transfers the movement of the shift cables to the shift rods and shift forks located inside the transaxle. Removal and installation of the shift cables requires specific adjustments for correct shifting of the transaxle.
