Unscrew the lever head, pull the cover up and remove it.
Loosen the bolts of the shift stand. The stand should be adjusted so that its centering holes coincide with the holes of the plate lying below.
Check: whether the holes in the shift column exactly match the threaded holes for the bolts.
If so, rotate the stand 180 degrees and securely fasten.
Raise the car and place it on supports.
Disconnect the clamp bracket at the shift rod-lever connection. The shift rod should move freely in the shift lever guide.
Remove the cuff at the bottom of the switching unit housing.
The position of the lever in "neutral" should be such that the shift finger in the longitudinal direction is located exactly in the middle of the housing.
To adjust the lever laterally for a four-speed gearbox, you will need a 20mm wide cardboard template, and for a five-speed gearbox, you will need a 15mm wide cardboard template.
Rotate the shift rod so that the specified gap ("a" in the figure below) between the shift pin and the lower edge of the housing is maintained
In this position, securely fix the clamp bracket.
