Manual transmission F13 and F17+
1. Adjustment of the switching drive is not a routine vehicle maintenance procedure and the need for it arises only after the removal of the switching mechanism. If the gear shifting is not clear, the correct functioning of the drive can be checked, if necessary, appropriate adjustments are made.
2. Adjustment is carried out by means of a bolt of a collar of fastening of a rod of a choice of transfers to draught of switching (see Section 10). The bolt is located under the power unit, directly in front of the rear bulkhead of the engine compartment. On most models, access to the screw is possible from above, for which you must first remove the battery from the tray (see chapter 5).

5. With the shift mechanism in neutral, turn the selector shaft against spring resistance and lock the mechanism in this position by sinking the spring-loaded locking pin into the cover located on top of the transmission housing (See resist. illustration).
6. Make sure that the lever and shift mechanism are securely locked. tighten the bolt of the collar of the gear selector rod (see resist. illustration) with a force of 12 Nm, and then tighten it to an angle of 180-225.
