PARTS REQUIRED
SERVICE PROCEDURE:
INSPECTION:
1. Place the shifter lever in the neutral position. Open the hood and remove the air cleaner box (D) to gain access to the shift lever linkage located on the top of the transaxle.
2. Insert a flat head screwdriver between the transaxle case and the shift lever linkage assembly (A) and push the shift lever linkage (B) toward the rear of the vehicle. Remove the screw driver. Measure the gap. The maximum sliding distance should be approximately 2-3 mm.
3. Shift the transmission lever into 3rd gear.
4. After shifting into 3rd gear, apply an additional 5-8 kgf (11-17 lbs-ft) of force to the shift lever without any side to side movement. After the force is applied, pull the shift lever back into the neutral position.
5. Check whether the shift lever moves smoothly between 3rd and neutral. Use the table shown for reference.
6. Slide the shift lever linkage assembly inward (towards the front of the vehicle - No Gap) when inspection is complete.
7. If the shift lever is operating under normal movement conditions, no further action is required.
8. If the shift lever is operating under abnormal movement conditions, replace the shift lever with the redesigned part.
SHIFT LEVER LINKAGE REPLACEMENT:
1. Disconnect the negative terminal (C) on the battery and remove the air cleaner assembly (D).
2. Remove the select lever fixing bolt (E) and remove the select lever.
Tightening torque: 2.0 - 2.7 kgf-m (14.5 - 19.5 lbf-ft.)
3. Remove the shift lever mounting bolt (F) and pin (C) and then remove the shift lever.
Tightening torque: 2.0 - 2.7 kgf-m (14.5 - 19.5 lbf-ft.)
4. Install the redesigned shift lever linkage and tighten the bolt (F) to the specified torque and re-insert the pin (C).
