Reverse Check Cable: Adjustment

Disconnect the ground cable from battery. Ref. to NOTE>BATTERY
NOTE: For model with battery sensor, disconnect the ground terminal from battery sensor.
Lift up the vehicle.
Remove the center exhaust pipe (rear). Ref. to EXHAUST(STI)>Center Exhaust Pipe>REMOVAL
Remove the center exhaust cover.
Remove the crossmember. Ref. to MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND DIFFERENTIAL (6MT) (TY85)>Transmission Mounting System>REMOVAL
Measure the distance "A" from the shift bracket seating face on transmission side to the hole edge of the reverse check lever.
Measure the distance "B" from the shift bracket seating face on transmission side to the hole edge of the extension case.
Calculate the following formula and determine the amount of cable adjustment.
T mm = (A - B) x 0.56

[T in = (A - B) x 0.56]

T: Amount of cable adjustment

A: Distance from the shift bracket seating face on transmission side to the hole edge of the reverse check lever

B: Distance from the shift bracket seating face on transmission side to the hole edge of the extension case
NOTE:
- If the value "T" (amount of cable adjustment) is positive (+), shorten the length "C" (from cable plate edge to reverse check cable) by using adjustment procedures.
- If the value "T" (amount of cable adjustment) is negative (-), lengthen the length "C" (from cable plate edge to reverse check cable) by using adjustment procedures.
Remove the snap pin and washer, and separate the reverse check cable.
Move the transmission to the right side, and remove the stay bolts and the reverse check cable.
NOTE: If the transmission is not moved aside, the stay bolts may contact the body and cause damage.
Check the adjustment of the reverse check cable.
1. Add a marking on the reverse check cable.
2. According to the value "T" (amount of cable adjustment) calculated in the step 8, turn the lock nut of reverse check cable back and forth, then adjust the length "C" (from cable plate edge to reverse check cable).
  NOTE:
  - Turning the lock nut toward front of the vehicle makes the cable length shorter and toward the rear of the vehicle the cable length longer.
  - The amount of the cable adjustment by one lock nut rotation is 1 mm (0.04 in).
  - Turn the lock nuts on both sides by the same adjustment amount.
3. Tighten the lock nut.
  Tightening Torque:
  
  6 N.m (0.6 kgf-m, 4.4 ft-lb)
Move the transmission to the right side, and install the stay.
Tightening Torque:

T: 32 N.m (3.3 kgf-m, 23.6 ft-lb)
Install the reverse check cable, washer and snap pin.
NOTE: Make sure to point the snap pin in an appropriate direction.
Make sure the hole of extension case is aligned with that of reverse check lever. If the hole positions are not aligned, return to the step 6 and repeat the adjustment procedures of the reverse check cable.
NOTE:
- Check that the M3 bolt goes through the hole of reverse check lever and can be inserted into the hole of extension case.
- When checking visually, confirm that the gap of hole positions is 0.5 mm (0.02 in) or less.
NOTE: If the hole positions are not aligned after repeating the reverse check cable adjustment, adjust the cable hole position to the reference standard.
