The gear change mechanism is maintenance-free. Shown is the shift mechanism of a front-wheel drive car.
Attention! On all-wheel drive models, conventional shift bars replace two cables. This has the advantage that less space is required. When shifting gears, there is a difference between lateral movement (choice movement) in the idle position and the shift itself. Both movements are transmitted through the corresponding rods to the gearbox.
Removing
1. Raise the car.
2. Remove parts in numerical order.
3. To remove the spring -7-, take out the hook part with a screwdriver.
Installation
