Gearshift Linkage-Adjusting (Non ProDrive Machines)

If 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 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 lock nut (A) and adjust ball joint (B) to meet specification.

Specification

Do not adjust clamp (D).

At transmission, shift arm (E) should be vertical as shown.

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

Check for specification at location (H).

Specification

Do not adjust clamp (I).
