lf not perfectly aligned, loosen the locknut on the
shitt cable. and adjust as required.
Tighten the locknut.
Install the lock pin on the adjuster. lf you feel the
lock pin binding as you reinstall it, the cable is still
out of adjustment and must be readjusted.
Make sure the lock pin is seated securely in the
adjuster. Replace the lock pin if it does not snap
over the cable adjuster securely.
Move the shift lever to each gear, and verify that the
A/T gear position indicator follows the A"/T gear
position switch.
Start the engine, and check the shift lever in all
gears. lf any gear does not work properly, refer to
troubleshooting on page 14-'153 thru 14-156.
Insert the ignition key into the key cylinder on the

Inspection and Adjustment
Steering Operation
Place the front wheels in the straight ahead position.
and measure the distance the steering wheel can be
turned without moving the front wheels.
ROTATIONAL PLAY: 0 - 10 mm (0 - 0.39 inl
lf the play exceeds the limit, perform rack guide adjust-
ment (see page 17-15).
lf the play is still excessive after rack guide adjustment,
inspect the steering linkage and gearbox as described
on the next page.

2. Start the engine, allow it to idle, and turn the steer-
ing wheel from lock-toiock several times to warm
up the fluid.
3. Aftach a spring scale to the steering wheel, With the
engine idling and the vehicle on a clean. dry floor,
pull the scale as shown and read it as soon as the
tires begin to turn.
SPRINGSCALE(Commercially
available)
The scale should read no more than 29 N (3.0 kgf,

1.Raise the reservoir. then disconnect the return hose
to drain the reservoir. Take care not to spill the fluid
on the body and parts. Wipe off any spilled fluid at
once.
2, Connect a hose of suitable diameter to the discon-
nected return hose, and put the hose end in a suit-
able container.
3. Stan the engine. let it run at idle, and turn the steer-
ing wheel from lock-to-lock several times. When
fluid stops running out of the hose, shut off the
engine. Discard the fluid.
4. Beinstallthe return hose on the reservoar.
5. Fill the reservoir to the upper level line,
6. Start the engine and run it at fast idle. then turn the

Note these items when pressing the cylinder end
seat:
. Keep the tool straight to avoid damaging the
cylinder wall. Check the tool angle, and correct it if
necessary, when removing the cylinder end seal.
. Use a press to remove the cylinder end seal. Do
not try to remove the seal by striking the tool. lt
