Shift Mechanism, Adjusting

Shift mechanism, adjusting, 012/01W, 5 SPD. M/T

Note:
^ Requirements for a correct shift adjustment are the following points:
^ Components of shift mechanism and linkage must be in proper working condition.
^ Shift mechanism must move freely
^ Furthermore, transmission, clutch and clutch mechanism must be in proper working condition.
^ Transmission in neutral
^ Carefully pry off shift lever boot from center console.
^ Remove shift knob with shift lever boot.





^ Rubber cover for shift mechanism housing must be removed - arrows -.
^ Measure distance between body and shift mechanism.





^ Distance - a - must be 37 mm.
^ If dimension - a - is not attained, proceed as follows:
^ Loosen pivot rod bolt - arrow -.
^ The connection pivot rod/shift mechanism must move easily.
^ Adjust dimension - a - by moving shift mechanism.
^ Tighten pivot rod bolt - arrow - to 25 Nm.





^ Loosen nut - arrow A - and - arrow B - for ball housing.
^ Ball housing must be horizontally aligned.
^ Tighten ball housing nuts to 25 Nm.





^ Loosen bolt for shift rod - arrow -.
^ The connection shift rod/shift mechanism must move freely.
^ Align shift lever so that it is positioned slightly toward rear.





^ Distance - a - for both ball stop lugs to ball housing must be equal.
^ Tighten shift rod bolt to 25 Nm.

Function
^ Shift lever must rest in 3rd/4th shift gate when transmission is at idle.
^ Operate clutch.
^ Shift through all gears several times. Pay particular attention to function of reverse gear lock.
^ Shift lever should return by itself from the 5th/reverse gear and move into 3rd/4th shift gate.
^ If a catch occurs during repeated selection of a gear, adjust as follows:

Fine adjustment





^ Loosen nut - arrow A - and - arrow B - for ball housing.
^ Press shift lever to right until transmission stop.
^ Press ball housing to left against shift lever.
^ Shift lever and ball housing must be held in this position and tighten to 25 Nm.
^ Install covers and shift knob

Note:
^ If only 5th gear and reverse gear cannot be engaged, the 5th and reverse gear lock must be checked and replaced if necessary
