Shift Cable Adjustment (SXA gear transmission)
Shift cable adjustment is necessary if the shift lever does not operate
smoothly, does not shift properly into a gear, or does not align with the
numbers beside the lever.
With the shift lever in 2nd gear, check that the lever, throughout its free
play range, is well-centered on the number “2” on the lever cover. If
adjustment is necessary:
1. Loosen the lock nuts with a 10 mm wrench, and move the adjuster
up or down as required.
2. Tighten the lock nuts and recheck lever alignment.
3. Start the engine outdoors, and operate the shift lever (release the
drive clutch lever before moving the shift lever). Check that the
transmission shifts properly, and that the lever is approximately
aligned with the number beside it.
If the transmission does not shift as it should with correct cable
adjustment, take the mower to an authorized Honda servicing
dealer for repair.
