Owner's Manual

NOTICE:
If you skip more than one gear when you
downshift, or if you race the engine when you
downshift, you can damage the clutch or
transmission.
The six-speed transmission has a spring that centers the
shift lever near THIRD
(3) and FOURTH (4). This
spring helps you know which gear you
are in when you
are shifting. Be careful when shifting from FIRST
(1) to
SECOND
(2) or downshifting from SIXTH (6) to
FIFTH
(5). The springs will try to pull the gear shift
lever toward FOURTH
(4) and THIRD (3). Make sure
you move the lever into SECOND
(2) or FIFTH (5). If
you let the lever move in the direction of the pulling,
you may end up shifting from FIRST
(1) to
FOURTH
(4) or from SIXTH (6) to THIRD (3).
