SHIFT SELECTOR AND CABLE/LINKAGE
3–1. SHIFT SELECTOR AND CABLE/LINKAGE a. Adjustment. The transmission internal detent lever and spring must dictate the position of the manual selector valve in the control valve body. Any customerfurnished shift selector system must be designed and adjusted to accomplish this positioning. The shift selector must move the internal detent lever from position to position and not interfere with the ability of the internal detent spring to position the manual selector valve. When the internal detent spring is in the center of a detent lever position, the shift selector handle should be in the center of the shift selector gate (see Figure 3–1). Check the shift selector adjustment as follows: 1. Center the shift selector lever at the center of a mid-position gate such as OD (Overdrive). 2. Disconnect the selector linkage/cable at the transmission shift lever. CAUTION: Internal transmission damage will occur if the following instructions are not followed: • DO NOT drive the selector lever onto the selector shaft • DO NOT use an impact wrench to tighten the shift lever retaining nut. Hold the lever with a wrench while tightening the nut (see Figure 3–4).
