shift lever using the nut and bolt supplied. Note that it covers the

the transmission end of the cable. Insert the cable into the bracket.

travel, loosen the large nuts and washers and move the cable forward
or backward to gain more travel. Then retighten the large nuts and
washers. Install the small nut and tighten.
