Gear shift linkage adjustment
Set the gear shift lever in the neutral position
1. Loosen the three shift linkage adjustment nuts. Install a 1/4 in. diameter alignment pin through the control bracket and levers, as shown in Fig. 3. Access may be gained through a detachable panel on the tunnel, inside the car.
2. Tighten the three linkage adjustment nuts and then remove the alignment pin.
3. Check the gear shift lever for a smooth crossover.
Removal
The engine and gearbox must be removed as a complete unit (See Section B). With the unit removed from the car, detach the gearbox from the engine by removing the bolts that secure the gearbox, and withdraw the input shaft from the flywheel housing.
Do not depress the clutch pedal while the gearbox is removed.
Editor’s Note: Don’t believe it. The gearbox or the engine can be removed separately, and often much easier. See TigersUnited Forum, Workshop Manual Subjects, under both Section B – Engine, as well as Section E – Gearbox.
