NOTE: Ideally, the shift arm should be adjusted 90° to the selection lever as
described, but in some chassis configurations, it may be necessary to index the shift
arm in the vertical position. This is done to prevent a shift lever jump out complaint.
This type of adjustment will cause an unequal amount of gear shift lever travel
between neutral and a forward lever position as compared to neutral and a rearward
lever position.
Re-install the shift arm on the splines of the inner shift shaft. You may have to move the
shift arm 4 or 5 degrees to align the splines of the two parts. Disregard any movement of
the gear shift lever at this point. You will adjust the gear shift lever later.
