There is a return spring on the lateral movement lever. The control unit in the transmission has a return spring.

The mechanical transmission cable for lateral travel is adjustable lengthwise. The adjuster is positioned on the mounting towards the lever on the transmission (1). The spring in the gear selector assembly pulls the mechanical cable and then the mechanical cable is locked by hand using the catch. When locking the gear selector lever and the components in the transmission must be in neutral position.
