Shift Mechanism, Adjusting

Shift mechanism, adjusting, 01A, 5 SPD. M/T (AWD)

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
^ 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 unscrewed - arrows -.
^ Measure distance between chassis and shift mechanism.





^ Distance - a - must be 37 mm.
^ If this is not the case, produce dimension - a - as follows:
^ Loosen bolt - arrow - for pivot rod.
^ The connection, pivot rod/shift mechanism must move freely.
^ Produce dimension - a - by sliding shift mechanism.
^ Tighten bolt - arrow - for pivot rod to 25 Nm.





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





^ Loosen bolt - arrow - for shift rod.

The connection, shift rod/shift mechanism must move freely.
^ Align shift lever so that it is positioned slightly toward rear.





^ Distance - a - for both tabs of ball stop to ball housing must be the same.
^ Tighten bolt for shift rod to 25 Nm.

Function
^ Shift lever must rest in 3rd/4th shift gate when transmission is in neutral.
^ 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, proceed as follows:

Fine adjustment





^ Loosen nuts - arrow A - and - arrow B - for ball housing.
^ Press shift lever toward right until transmission stop.
^ Press ball housing to left against shift lever.
^ Then hold shift lever and ball housing in this manner 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
