Shift Lever — Prelude 1988-91 (Honda Accord 3)

1. Set the parking brake, block the wheels and put the gear lever in neutral.

3. Inspect the adjustment of the selector cable. The groove on the lever mounting bracket should match the marker on the cable housing. This marker is located between the adjustment sleeve and the point where the cable attaches to the lever.

4. If the marks do not match, loosen the two lock nuts on the adjusting sleeve and turn the adjuster as necessary.

5. After aligning the marks, tighten the locknuts on the regulator. Check how long the thread protrudes from the regulator. The thread should not protrude more than 10 mm.

6. Check the functionality of the gear shift lever.

7. Check the adjustment of the gear shift cable. Set the lever to 4th gear.

8. Measure the gap between the lever bracket and the front edge of the limiter by pushing the lever forward. There is an inspection hole on the front of the bracket into which you can insert a measuring device. The gap should be 6-7 mm.

9. If the clearance is not as specified, loosen the two lock nuts on the adjuster and turn the adjuster as necessary.

10. After setting the correct clearance, tighten the locknuts. Check how much of the thread protrudes from the adjuster. The thread should not protrude more than 10 mm.

11. Check the functionality of the gear shift lever. Reinstall the console.
