REMOVAL
1. Remove the shift knob with the following procedure.
a. Release metal clips on console boot from center console. Refer
to IP-11, "
Removal and Installation" .
b. Lift console boot, and push down control lever boot B and con-
trol lever boot A. Set water pump pliers and others to control
lever assembly.
CAUTION:
Put waste cloth between water pump pliers and control
lever assembly to avoid damaging control lever assembly.
c. Set monkey wrench to shift knob.
CAUTION:
Put waste cloth between shift knob and monkey wrench to
avoid damaging shift knob.
d. Keeping control lever assembly in place with water pump pliers,
turn monkey wrench counterclockwise to loosen shift knob.
NOTE:
Remove shift knob from control lever assembly keeping water
pump pliers in place because a certain power to turn shift knob
is still necessary even after adhesive is peeled.
e. Remove shift knob from control lever assembly.
2. Remove insulator and seat from control lever assembly.
3. Remove console boot.
4. Remove center console assembly. Refer to IP-11, "

4. After shifting control lever assembly into 6th gear, push it toward
reverse gear (to the right) until it comes to a stop.
5. At the point where the control lever assembly stops, bring the
guide plate closer until guide plate stopper contacts control lever
assembly claw, and then loosely tighten mounting bolt A.
6. After shifting control lever assembly into 5th gear, push it toward
reverse gear (to the right) until it comes to a stop.
7. At the point where control lever assembly stops, bring guide
plate closer until the guide plate stopper contacts control lever
assembly claw, and then tighten mounting bolt C to the specified
torque. Refer to MT-12, "
COMPONENTS" .
8. Tighten guide plate bolts A and B to the specified torque. Refer
to MT-12, "
COMPONENTS" .
9. Install control lever boot A.
CAUTION:
Fit the control lever boot A to the groove on the control
lever housing.
10. Install hole insulator and control lever boot B.
11. Install hole cover and tighten bolts to the specified torque. Refer
to MT-12, "
COMPONENTS" .
12. Install felt.
13. Install center console assembly. Refer to IP-11, "
Removal and
Installation" .
14. Install console boot to center console assembly. Refer to IP-11,
"Removal and Installation" .
15. As shown in the figure, assemble seat and insulator to control
lever assembly.
CAUTION:

Do not reuse insulator.

Be careful with the orientation of seat.
16. Apply locking sealant to control lever assembly threads, install
shift knob.

CAUTION:
Remove the remaining adhesive on control lever and shift knob threads.
17. Put the shift knob in the correct position as the following indicates.
a. When tightening shift knob, if shift knob comes to the proper
position within 1/2 turn from the position at which resistance
begins to be felt, tighten it 1 more turn to set it in the proper posi-
tion.
b. If it takes more than 1/2 turn from the position at which resis-
tance begins to be felt, tighten it to set it in the proper position.
CAUTION:

Do not adjust the knob with loosing.

After adjusting to the regular position, until 30 minutes
pass, do not operate the shift intensely such as screwing
or turning the shift knob to opposite direction since a
locking sealant because stiff.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
After installing, confirm the following items:

When control lever assembly is shifted to each position, make sure there is no binding or disconnection in
each boot.

When shifted to each position, make sure there is no noise, binding, and backlash. Especially when con-
trol lever assembly is shifted to 5th, 6th without pressing downward, check for binding.

When control lever assembly is shifted to 1st, 2nd side and 5th, 6th side, confirm control lever assembly
returns to neutral position smoothly.

In any position other than reverse, confirm that control lever assembly can be pressed downward.

With control lever assembly pressed downward, confirm that it can be shifted to reverse.

When shifted from reverse to neutral position, confirm control lever assembly returns to neutral position
smoothly with spring power.

Without control lever assembly pressed downward, confirm that it cannot be shifted to reverse.

14. Remove clutch tube (1), clutch hose (2), and lock plate (3).
Refer to CL-15, "
Removal and Installation" .
CAUTION:

Keep painted surface on the body or other parts free of
clutch fluid. If it spills, wipe up immediately and wash the
affected area with water.

Do not depress clutch pedal during removal procedure.
NOTE:
Insert a suitable plug into clutch hose and CSC (Concentric
Slave Cylinder) tube after removing clutch tube.
15. Remove crankshaft position sensor (POS). Refer to EM-107, "
Disassembly and Assembly" .
CAUTION:

Do not subject it to impact by dropping or hitting.

Do not disassemble.

Do not allow iron dust, etc., to get on the sensor's front edge magnetic area.

Do not place in an area affected by magnetism.
16. Remove starter motor. Refer to SC-17, "
Removal and Installation" .
17. Remove rear plate cover. Refer to EM-26, "
Removal and Installation" .
18. Disconnect Park/Neutral position (PNP) switch harness connector.
19. Remove harness brackets.
20. Separate heated oxygen sensor 2 wire harness, back-up lamp switch wire harness and Park/Neutral posi-
tion (PNP) switch wire harness from the transmission.
21. Set transmission jack to the transmission assembly.
CAUTION:
When setting transmission jack, be careful not to contact with the switch.
22. Remove rear engine mounting member. Refer to EM-101,
"Removal and Installation" .
23. Remove engine and transmission mounting bolts with power
tool.
24. Lower a suitable jack to the position where the back-up lamp
switch harness connector can be disconnect. Then disconnect
back-up lamp switch harness connector.
25. Remove transmission assembly from the vehicle.
CAUTION:

Secure transmission assembly to a suitable jack while
removing it.

The transmission assembly must not interfere with the wire harnesses and clutch hose.

Do not hold control lever housing to prevent bushing of control lever housing from deformation
when moving transmission assembly.
26. Remove dynamic damper.
27. Remove CSC (Concentric Slave Cylinder) body and tube. Refer to CL-11, "
COMPONENTS" .
CAUTION:
If transmission assembly is removed from the vehicle, always replace CSC (Concentric Slave Cyl-
inder) body and CSC tube. Return CSC body insert to original position to remove transmission
assembly. Dust on clutch disc sliding parts may damage seal of CSC body and may cause clutch
fluid leakage.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
