10.
At this point it is necessary to lock the reverse cable in an extended position in order to be able to
replace the roll pin. To do this, pull on the cable and simultaneously twist the linkage clockwise, then
pull it back to select reverse gear. You may need to vary the distance you extend the cable to properly
select reverse. Once reverse is selected, the reverse cable will remain extended when you let it go. If you
have difficulty at this point, it may help to temporarily bolt the linkage to the gearstick and use the
gearstick to help select reverse. Make sure to leave the linkage in reverse until the end of step 12.
11.
If you have used the gearstick to assist in step 10,
it’ll help to unbolt it for this step. Slide the reverse
cable up into the top half of the gearstick. The hole
in the swage at the end of the cable should line up
with the slot in top of the gearstick (twist the cable
or rotate the gearstick if necessary). Line up the
hole in the reverse lever, then push the longer of the
M5 slot screws (the one used in step 4) through the
reverse lever, the gearstick, into the reverse cable
swage, and out the other side (fig. 11). This step
will line up all the parts and helps to guide the roll
pin in easily. If the reverse cable does not reach
high enough to insert the pin, re-check step 10.
12.
Put the pin remover back onto the gearstick, and drop the roll pin into the threaded hole, followed by the
shorter of the two M5 slot screws. Make sure the end of the roll pin is lined up with the end of the long
M5 slot screw (fig. 11), then begin screwing it into the gearstick. If aligned correctly, the roll pin will
push the longer M5 slot screw out of the gearstick as it goes. Continue until the pin is pushed about
1mm BEYOND centre (figure 12). Now unwind the short M5 slot screw, spin the roll pin remover 180
degrees and push the pin back the other way until it is centred (fig. 13). This will ensure the end of the
cable is held in the middle of the gearstick, instead of rubbing against the side (look down the hole in the
top of the gearstick, you will be able to see the position of the cable).
13.
Shift into neutral by pushing forward on the linkage, then check that the reverse lever slides up and
down smoothly. Now fasten the reverse cable to the gearstick with the supplied zip tie.
