09A016t16. INSTALLATION OF
SHIFT CABLE
(1) With the select lever in neutral, move the transaxle shift
lever (in the direction shown in the illustration) to set it
to
4th gear.
NOTE
If the shift lever does not move easily, depress and holdthe clutch pedal.
(2) Move the shift lever (at the vehicle interior side)
downward, in the direction
(4th gear position) shown in
the illustration until it contacts the stopper.
(3) Adjust, by using the adjuster, so that the end of the shiftcable is positioned as shown in the illustration relative
to the shift lever (interior side).
(4) The flange side of the resin bushing at the shift cable
end should be at the split pin side.
(5) Adjust the length of the shift cable, by using the
adjuster, so that the clearance (A) and
(B) between the
shift lever and the two stoppers are equal when the
shift lever is shifted to
3rd gear and 4th gear.
(6)Move the shift lever to each position and check that theshifting is smooth.

lst-2nd speed shift sleeve at 2nd Speed.
(2) Set the
3rd-4th speed shift sleeve at 4th spe$d.(3) Fit the shift forks of shift rail assembly to groove of
sleeves.(4) Insert the shift rails into the shift rail holes of clutch
housing.(5) Turn the shift rails in the directions indicated by the
arrows in the order shown in the illustration, and
engage the shift lugs to control finger and interlock
plate.
45.146. INSTALLATION OF SPRING PINS
Install the spring pins using the special tool or a pin Punch.When installing, make sure that the slit of the spring pin is
aligned with the shift rail center line.
Caution
Do not reuse the spring pins.
35.137.139. SELECTION OF SPACERS
(1) Place two pieces of solder measuring about Ia mm (.4in.) in length and 1.6 mm
(.06 in.) in diameter as
illustrated and install the outer races of intermediate
gear and differential.
(2) With a solder puddle measuring
10 mm (.39 in.) long
and 1.6 mm (.06 in.) across on the transaxle case at thelocation shown in the figure, install the
bearing outer
race of the shaft.
(3) Install the transaxle case and tighten the bolts to
specified torque.
(4) Remove the transaxle case.
(5) Remove the outer races and take out the crushed
solder.(6) If the solder is not broken, carry out the work in steps
(l)-(5) with large diameter solder.
