Gear Shift Lever Assembly

3. Unscrew the lever button, remove the retaining ring, remove the spring from the lever.
4. On early versions, mark the alignment of the locking plate to the cover plate, unscrew the four bolts and separate the locking plate. Do not disassemble the lower bearing unless necessary. Push the rubber guide out of the lever base, spread the plastic skeletons apart and remove the gearshift lever, upper and lower hemispheres. On later versions, it is necessary to release the notch with a chisel around the lower bearing, after which the annular rubber guide can be removed.
5. When assembling, lubricate all rubbing 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 frames. Press in the lower half-ball, then the spring, and finally the upper half-ball.
7. Slide the rubber ring down the lever or, on later versions, the rear pushrod. On later versions, install the metal ring and secure the assembly.
8. Install the lock plates, cover plate and control arm base, aligning with the previously made marks.
9. Install the spring, snap ring, then screw on the gear shift button.
10. Install the gear shift lever assembly as described Chapter 31.
