Gearshift rod, gearbox control lever and reverse gear lock cable
1 – gear shift lever rod, 2 – reverse gear lock bushing, 3 – reverse gear lock cable, 4 – gear selection rod, 5 – intermediate element, 6 – gear selection connector, 7 – gear selection lever, 8 – intermediate gear shift lever, 9 – intermediate connector of external gear shift mechanism
If the gear shifting is rough or imprecise, the shift rod may be the cause. In this case, it is recommended to remove the shift rod, check for wear and damage, and reinstall the rod after lubricating all the joints. On some early model cars, the length of the shift rod can be adjusted if necessary. However, this adjustment is intended for the initial installation of the rod (when replacing the rod with a new one or if the length of the rod does not meet the standard) and is not intended to compensate for wear and tear during operation.
1. Raise the front of the vehicle and secure it on stands.
2. Measure the length of the gearshift rod between centers, which should be 246.0 mm. If the rod length is not within the standard, loosen the lock nut and remove the rod end from the ball joint on the gearbox lever. Rotate the rod end until the distance between the rod centers is 246.0 mm, then connect the rod end to the ball joint and tighten the lock nut.
3. Check that the gearshift mechanism is correctly adjusted and that the gearshift lever is in the required position in neutral.
