ADJUSTMENT
Check the shift rod height from the shift rod hole to
the surface of the gearcase using Universal Shift
Rod Height Gauge, P/N 389997.
With the gearcase in NEUTRAL, rotate the shift
rod up or down as necessary for correct adjust-
ment. Once correct height is achieved, rotate rod
one half turn or less to direct offset forward.
IMPORTANT: The NEUTRAL detent is a two-
step design. Make sure the NEUTRAL detent ball
is in the center step before checking shift rod
height.
