Removing And Installing Shift And Selector Cables: Installation

The shift and selector cables are designed so that installation and adjustment are a single work step.

Preconditions for this are:

• Special tool 9619 must be fitted to fix the shift lever.
• The transmission must be in neutral.

1. Guide shift cables from the passenger compartment to the transmission through the rear wall and fasten on the transmission. See Fig 1 . At the same time, the shift cable end pieces and support brackets must audibly and perceptibly engage, and the cotter pin heads on retaining clip "A" must point downward.
   NOTE: Clean securing screw "F" with solvent naphtha, coat the first 10 threads with Loctite 270, and tighten the screw to 23 Nm (17 ft.lb).
