## Outer selector mechanism

To isolate vibrations from the drive line region, the gearbox is equipped with a cable-operated transmission.

Two selector cables connect the gear lever (on board the vehicle) and gearbox.

The two selector cables transmit the selection and shift movements of the gear lever to the selector shaft.

The mechanism (relay lever and lever for shift movement) translates the movements of the 2 selector cables to forward, reverse and rotary movements of the selector shaft.

An angle piece is attached to the selector mechanism cover. It locates the selector shaft in a pre-defined position so that servicing work can be carried out.

As a result, the cable pull transmission is much easier to adjust (Page 22).

A 4-gate selector mechanism, with reverse gear at the front left, was selected for the new manual gearbox.

The position of the other gears is the same as on the standard gearshift mechanism.

A conventional push lock (page 21) is used as a safeguard against unintentional engagement of reverse gear.
