5.2.11 Shifter detent adjustment - Transmission shifter detent can be adjusted by adjusting
the setscrew on the back side of transmission located just behind the neutralstart
switch. Turn setscrew in (clockwise) to hold the transmission shifter more positively
in each gear and to increase the force on the lever required to shift gears.
Turn setscrew out (counterclockwise) to decrease force on lever required to shift
gears. Factory setting is to turn setscrew all the way in then back out 1-1/2 turns.
IMPORTANT
:
Screwing setscrew in too far will prevent the transmission from
shifting.

c) Be sure the bellcrank does not contact the switch body to prevent damage to
the switch.
d) Retighten switch mounting hardware.
