Shift Cable
CAUTION:
The shift cable is made out of 2 cable sections. After initial connection never separate the 2 metal couplings from one another. Integrity of the connection of the 2 metal couplings will be lost if separation of the 2 metal couplings occurs. When servicing the transaxle remove the cable at the shifter and at the shift cable bracket. If either section of the cable needs to be replaced, replace both of the cable sections. Loss of connection integrity of the 2 metal couplings can cause loss of transaxle shift control which could result in personal injury.
NOTE:
Adjust the shift cable while the transaxle manual control lever and the shift control lever are in the Neutral position only. Failure to do so may cause misadjustment.
- Set the parking brake. Block the wheels. Disconnect the shift cables at both ends with the system in Neutral.
- Push up to the adjustment position to release the adjuster until the cable housings separate. See Fig 1 . Depress the adjuster clip once.
- This mobilizes the adjuster housing toward the transaxle end fitting. Line up the end fittings so they slide together until you feel the parts cam together and lock.
- Depress the adjuster clip completely. This locks the cable into its adjusted service position. Pull the conduit in the opposite direction to assure full system adjustment of the shift cable.
- The horseshoe clip with the tab is flush when fully engaged. See Fig 2 .
- Ensure the conduit is fully engaged. The horseshoe clip with the tab is not flush when not fully engaged. Install the shift cable retainer and the wiring harness clip or wiring harness strap.
NOTE:
Do not attempt to separate the metal couplings. Replace both cable pieces if the metal couplings are separated. Both of the cable section will be damaged if the 2 metal couplings are disconnected.
