NOTE:

Only loosen the clamping screw - do not remove it.

The clamping screw is only accessible when the selector lever is in "D".

The selector lever must remain in "D" when the clamping screw is loose.

-- Carefully move the selector forward and back gently without shifting into another selector lever position. This releases the tension in the selector lever cable.

-- Tighten the clamping screw in this position with the Socket And Key T40031 without touching the selector lever.

-- Check the selector mechanism, refer to GEARSHIFT MECHANISM, CHECKING .

If shift mechanism does not function properly after adjusting selector lever cable:

-- Bring the selector lever cable into the basic setting, refer to SELECTOR LEVER CABLE, BRINGING INTO BASIC SETTING .
