Step 14: Verify that both 1/4"-28 jam nuts are on the threaded rod, and install a rod end onto each
end of the threaded rod. Attach the threaded rod assembly to the outside of the quad lever
and to the inside of the trans arm using the 1/4"-28 x 1" button head bolts, flat washers,
and nylock nuts as shown in Fig. 9 and Fig. 10. The button head bolts can be installed
from either direction, but make sure the rod end is sandwiched between the flat washer
and the quad lever or trans arm.
Step 15: Check the adjustment of the shifter by placing the shifter all the way forward into 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 arm
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 arm. 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 arm 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 arm.
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.
