Gearshift Linkage-Adjusting

If the gearshift lever is hard to shift, it does not necessarily mean that the cable needs adjustment.

Hard shifting can be caused by:

A damaged, dirty, rusty or pinched shift cable. For these problems, inspect, clean, adjust or replace the cable.

Internal transmission problems. If you suspect a transmission problem, see your John Deere dealer.

To adjust linkage, shift transmission into second gear. Gearshift lever should be leaning slightly forward when in second gear.

From under cab, loosen nut (A) and adjust ball joint (B) to meet specification.

Specification

At the transmission, shift arm (E) should be straight down as shown.

Loosen nut (F) and adjust ball joint (G) until stud on ball joint aligns with hole in shift arm (E).

Check for specification at (H).
