Shift Linkage Check

Check for correct adjustment of shift linkage by matching the detents in the transaxle range selector lever with those in the transaxle. If they match, the incorrect adjustment is in the indicator. Do not adjust the shift linkage.

Hydraulic leakage at the manual control valve can cause delay in engagements and/or slipping while operating. If the linkage is not correctly adjusted; refer to AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION EXTERNAL CONTROLS for shift linkage adjustment.
