Install shifter arm into the partition from the front while
inserting selector arm into the opening in reverse check
sleeve. Pass shaft through hole in selector arm until its end
comes out of the rear of transmission case assembly.
CAUTION:
Apply a coat of gear oil to shifter arm. Also make sure
oil seal is positioned properly.
3) Adjustment of neutral position
NOTE:
After assembling and installing rear case, adjust neutral
position.
(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 clear-
ance.
