Step 11: Make sure that a jam nut is still present on each end

of the threaded rod, and install a rod end onto each

end of the threaded rod. Attach the threaded rod

assembly to the

inside of the trans gear lever and to

the

outside of the quad lever using the 1/4"-28 x 1"

button head bolts, flat washers, and nylock nuts as

shown in

Fig. 6 and Fig. 7. The button head bolts can

be installed from either direction, but make sure the

rod end is sandwiched between the flat washer and the

trans gear lever or the quad lever.

Step 12: Check the adjustment of the shifter with the shifter all

the way forward in the Park position. Make sure that

the release button still moves up and down freely. The

release button should be flush with the knob in Park

and Neutral. In the Reverse position, you cannot pull the

lever back into Neutral without depressing the release

button.

While the shifter is in the Park position, make sure

the transmission is firmly in the "Park" detent, with

no tension on the threaded rod. You can verify this by

removing the 1/4"-28 x 1" button head bolt with nylock

nut that attaches the rod end to the quad lever or trans

gear lever at either end of the threaded rod. Make sure

the hole in the rod end exactly aligns with the hole in

the quad lever or trans gear lever. The bolt should pass

freely through both holes at the same time without

binding. Do not force the holes to line up.

If the holes are not aligned, screw the rod end in or

out just enough to be able to slide the bolt in and out

without putting tension on the threaded rod. Make sure

that the quad lever and trans gear lever do not move

during the adjustment procedure. Use this adjustment

routine until the bolt will pass freely in and out of both

the rod end and the quad lever or trans gear lever.

Reinstall the 1/4"-28 nylock nut and the flat washer

onto the bolt and tighten.

Once you have the shifter adjusted correctly, tighten the

jam nuts on the threaded rod.
