The s elect or lever ass embly is a pl ast ic moulded cons t ructi on. The l ever i s att ached t o a gi mbal mechanis m which all owseasy movement i n t he lat eral and longit udi nal pl anes .
The lever has a ball end on i ts bas e t o which t he l ongi tudinal s hi ft cable i s at tached. This cable pas s es all longit udinalmovements of t he lever to the t rans mi ss i on. A second ball end is at t ached at 90 degrees t o t he lever and engages wit h acent eri ng s pring. The cent eri ng s pring returns the lever t o a pos it ion bet ween 3rd and 4t h gears when neut ral is sel ect ed.
The s econd ball end l ocat es in a rot at ing lever pl ate. This pl at e i s s pring loaded and has bal l end for att achment of t helat eral s hi ft cable. The lever plat e rot ates wi th movement of t he s elect or lever from s ide to si de and pass es l at eralmovements of t he s elect or lever to the l ateral s hift cabl e.
The t wo s hift cables have abutment s which l ocat e in the s elect or l ever as s embl y and i n bracket s on t he t rans mis s ion.

Inhi bi ti on of revers e gear is achieved t hrough a s olenoid i nterlock devi ce locat ed on t he s elect or lever ass embly. W hen thes olenoi d i s energized, movement of t he lever pl ate is rest ri cted t o prevent the revers e gear pos it ion bei ng acces sed.

Cable Setting Proced ure
The correct cabl e adjus tment i s achi eved by use of a yel low adjust ment butt on in the s elect or l ever arm eye end of t helat eral s hi ft cable.
Ensure t hat t he t rans mis s ion i s in neut ral and rel ease the yell ow adjus t ment but ton. All ow t he cent eri ng s pring t o centret he sel ect or lever i n t he lat eral direct ion.

Once the cable is i n t he correct posi ti on, t he yell ow adjus tment but ton can be pressed back int o t he 'locked' pos it ion t oengage wit h the serrat ed port ion of t he cable. Ens ure t hat the s elect or l ever i s not moved before t he butt on i s pres s ed.
Check t he cable for the correct s et ti ng by s el ect ing 3rd gear and checki ng t hat t he l at eral movement of the s elector l everfeel s s ymmetrical.
The cabl e s houl d be reset whenever any part of t he t ransmis s ion s elector as sembl y has been dis turbed or replaced,including the t rans mis s ion, cabl es or sel ect or lever as s embly.
