Gear
lever contact
 The
gear lever contact, which closes the electric circuit to the
valve solenoid for selection of a drive range, requires inspection
every 10.000 km. Check it for dirt or corrosion and for play.
Remember that the circuit should not close when the lever
is moved form side to side. Clean the contact. If necessary,
replace the assembly.
Adjusting
the gear lever contact:
- Lose
and remove the boot over the lever selector.
- Loosen
the bolts that holding the gear lever selector mounting.
- Move
lever into drive range L.
- Carefully
align lever in the L position. The lever
should not tilt to either side but should incline backward
about 10 degrees from the vertical.
- Loosen
the bolts a little, then holding the lever to keep it from
moving, press the stop plate under the mounting to the left
until it makes contact with the shoulder on the lever.
- When
lever in the position obtained in the three step over, tighten
the mounting bolts. Then shift through all the drive ranges.
You should be able to engage any range easily and without
sticking.
