Adjusting the Shift Lever
If you are unable to shift into reverse or 4th gear, the shift lever and tie rod need to be adjusted.
Tools Needed:
 1/2" box wrench or socket
 1/2" box or open-end wrench
 9/16" box or open-end wrench
1. Move the shift lever into the reverse
position. (Figure 29)
2. Loosen and remove the tie rod nut
and bolt from the transaxle arm with
the 1/2" wrenches (Figure 30). Remove
the tie rod from the transaxle arm.
3. Fully extend the transaxle arm toward
the front of the machine; this will put
the transmission into reverse gear.
(Figure 31)
4. Loosen the lock nut on the shift tie
rod end with the 9/16" open-end
wrench (Figure 31) and turn the tie rod
end, clockwise to shorten the tie rod,
and counterclockwise to lengthen it.
5. Adjust the tie rod length until the shift
indicator points to reverse when the
tie rod end is reinstalled onto the
transaxle arm.
6. When the adjustment is complete, re-
tighten the lock nut against the ball
end.
7. Place the tie rod back on the transaxle
arm, insert the bolt, and re-tighten the
nut.
This should now enable you to use the
full range of gears.
WARNING! Before performing any maintenance procedure, stop the
engine, set the parking brake and disconnect the spark plug wire.
