Differential: Adjustments

ADJUSTMENT
1. NEUTRAL POSITION ADJUSTMENT
1. Shift gear into 3rd gear position.
2. Shifter arm turns lightly toward the 1st/2nd gear side but heavily toward the reverse gear side because of the function of the return spring, until arm contacts the stopper.
3. Make adjustment so that the heavy stroke (reverse side) is a little more than the light stroke (1st/2nd side).








4. To adjust, remove bolts holding reverse check sleeve assembly to the case, move sleeve assembly outward, and place adjustment shim (0 to 1 ea.) between sleeve assembly and case to adjust the clearance.

NOTE:
^ Be careful not to break O-ring when placing shim(s).
^ When shim is removed, the neutral position will move closer to reverse; when shim is added, the neutral position will move closer to 1st gear.
^ If shims alone cannot adjust the clearance, replace reverse accent shaft and re-adjust.

2. REVERSE CHECK PLATE ADJUSTMENT
1. Shift shifter arm to "5th" and then to reverse to see if reverse check mechanism operates properly.








2. Also check to see if arm returns to neutral when released from the reverse position. If arm does not return properly, replace reverse check plate.
