Additional Information

The snowblower speed shift rod 684-04156A links the shift lever to the transmission so you can choose the correct forward or reverse speed while operating the machine.

If shifting becomes difficult, inaccurate or unresponsive, the rod may be bent, worn or disconnected, preventing the transmission from moving into the selected gear.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. Wear work gloves when working with linkage parts and ensure the rod seats securely in each mounting point for smooth shifting.
