E: ADJUSTMENT
1. NEUTRAL POSITION ADJUSTMENT
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 assem-
bly outward, and place adjustment shim (0 to 1 ea.)
between sleeve assembly and case to adjust the
clearance.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to break O-ring when placing
shim(s).
NOTE:
IWhen shim is removed, the neutral position will
move closer to reverse; when shim is added, the
neutral position will move closer to 1st gear.
IIf shims alone cannot adjust the clearance,
replace reverse accent shaft and re-adjust.

see if reverse check mechanism operates properly.
2) Also check to see if arm returns to neutral when
released from the reverse position. If arm does not
return properly, replace reverse check plate.
