Adjustments

SHIFT LINKAGE

Except Justy ECVT

The linkage adjustment is important for the automatic transaxle. Great care should be exercised because improper adjustment will result in damage to the transaxle.

To determine if adjustment is necessary, check the shifting operation with the engine off and the parking brake applied. While holding in the release button with your thumb, move the selector lever forward until you can feel that the transaxle is in PARK. Then move the lever back and feel for the five remaining positions. If the gear selector indicator points to the proper gear at each stop, and if the selector lever does not jump when the release button is let go, the shift linkage is properly adjusted. If this is not the case adjustment is necessary.

1. Place the gear selector in N position.
2. Loosen the adjusting nuts on the linkage rod.
3. Check that the manual lever on the transaxle is in the N detent position. The manual lever is in the neutral position when the selector arm is between the cast bosses of the transaxle case.
4. Set the gear selector lever so that it clicks in the neutral position.
5. Adjust the fitting length of the rod by turning nut A until it comes into contact with the connector while pushing the rod lightly with one finger.
6. Tighten the nut B with nut A kept stationary with wrench.
7. Engage the electrical connector to the neutral safety switch.
8. After adjustment, check the selector operation through all gear ranges.
9. Check operation of the back-up lights when the selector is place in R.
10. Check that the engine does not start in any other position except P and N.
