Neutral Lock Assembly

When performing routine maintenance and/or engine
diagnostics, the transaxle must be shifted into a
neutral position. The vehicle does not have a neutral
position on the shift lever, so the following steps must
be performed:
1. To lock the transaxle in neutral, rotate the
locking pin 180 degrees on the shift block
(Fig. 16).

2. Shift the gear selector into REVERSE and then
into FORWARD. Leave the gear shift selector in
the FORWARD position.
3. Ensure that the transaxle is locked in neutral by
rotating the secondary clutch (Fig. 17). No tire
rotation should occur.
