Note: Before starting, see Chapter 31, paragraph 1.
1. The shift rod consists of two main parts: the shift lever assembly and the link rods.
Gear Lever Assembly
2. Remove the shift lever as described in Chapter 31.
3. Turn off the button of the lever, remove a lock ring, remove a spring from the lever.
4. On early versions, mark the alignment of the stop plate to the cover plate, unscrew the four bolts and separate the stop plate. Do not disassemble the lower bearing unnecessarily. Push the rubber guide out of the lever base, spread the plastic cores apart and remove the shift lever, upper and lower hemispheres. On later versions, it is necessary to release a notch with a chisel around the lower bearing, after which it will be possible to remove the annular rubber guide.
5. When assembling, lubricate all friction surfaces with special lubricant AOS 126 000 05.
6. When assembling the rubber guide, place it with the narrow end up and insert the two cores. Push in the lower hemisphere, then the spring, and finally the upper hemisphere.
7. Move the rubber ring down the lever or, on later versions, the rear pusher. On later versions, install the metal ring and secure the assembly.
8. Install the stop plates, cover plate and control arm base, aligning to the previously made marks.
9. Install the spring, retaining ring, then screw on the shift button.
10. Install the shift lever assembly as described Chapter 31.
Gearshift rods
11. To remove the front gearshift linkage, remove the adjusting linkage ball joint from the gearshift linkage, disconnect the linkage from the gearshift lever. Loosen clamp, remove front link from rear shift link (photo), remove it from under the vehicle. Installation is carried out in the reverse order.
12. To remove the rear gearshift linkage, remove the central console, unscrew the nut and bolt securing the rod to the gearshift lever. Loosen the clamp, remove the rear shift linkage from the front shift linkage, remove the rod upwards into the vehicle interior. Installation is carried out in the reverse order.
13. To remove the adjusting rod, disconnect it with a ball tip from the front gearshift rod and gearshift lever studs, remove it from under the car. When installing, always check the length of the rod, which should be 134 mm.
14. On later versions, the front pushrod can be removed by removing the locking bracket in the gearbox and the clamp bolt and plate in the rear pushrod connection. Installation is carried out in the reverse order.
15. The rear pusher on later versions is removed along with the gear lever (Chapter 31).
