External Controls









The IB5 manual transaxle external controls consists of the following:

- Gearshift cables
- shift cable

- selector cable


- Gearshift lever

- Gearshift lever knob and boot

- Transaxle shift lever

- Transaxle selector lever

The manual transaxle is controlled by a floor-mounted gearshift lever located in the floor console. Connection between the floor-mounted gearshift lever and the transaxle shift lever and selector lever is made through 2 gearshift cables. When the operator moves the floor mounted gearshift lever, that movement is transmitted through 2 gearshift cables routed through the floor to the transaxle. The 2 gearshift cables are attached to the transaxle at the shift lever and selector lever. The shift and selector levers transfer the movement of the gearshift cables to the shift rods and shift forks located inside the transaxle. Removal and installation of the gearshift cables require specific adjustments for correct shifting of the transaxle. For information regarding gearshift cable adjustments, refer to Manual Transmission/Transaxle &/or Clutch, M/T.

The shift cable has white ends and the selector cable has black ends. The selector cable (black) does not have an adjustment.
