The shifter rod length is set at the factory and should not require adjustment under normal circumstances. However, if full engagement or full lever travel is not achieved, adjust the shifter rod.
NOTE
Do not allow shift levers to contact footboard when shifting.
This prevents proper gear engagement. Contact may also damage the transmission.
