Troubleshooting
Check the following items when shifting difficulty is
encountered.
• Idle speed adjustment
• PVT alignment
• Transmission oil type/quality
• Transmission torque stop adjustment (where applicable)
• Engine torque stop adjustment (where applicable)
• Drive belt deflection
• Loose fasteners on rod ends
• Loose fasteners on selector box
• Worn rod ends, clevis pins, or pivot arm bushings
• Linkage rod adjustment and rod end positioning
• Shift selector rail travel
• *Worn, broken or damaged internal transmission
components
NOTE: To determine if shifting difficulty or problem
is caused by an internal transmission problem,
isolate the transmission by disconnecting linkage
rod from transmission bellcrank. Manually select
each gear range at the transmission bellcrank, and
test ride vehicle. If it functions properly, the problem
is outside the transmission. If transmission problem
remains, disassemble transmission and inspect all
gear dogs for wear (rounding), damage. Inspect all
bearings, circlips, thrust washers and shafts for
wear.
