System Operation

The manual gearbox is operated by the floor-mounted gear selector lever located in the floor console. The connection between the floor gear selector lever and the gear selector mechanism of the manual gearbox is made through 2 gear shift cables. When the operator moves the floor-mounted gear selector lever, the movement is transmitted through the 2 gear shift cables routed through the body to the transmission. The 2 gear shift cables are attached to the gearbox at the gear shift control assembly. The gear shift control assembly transmits the movement of the gear shift cables to the shift rods and shift forks located inside the transmission. Removal and installation of the gear shift cables requires special adjustments for correct gear shifting.
