Advice:
Always use new, high-quality cables and
compressionless cable housings with end
caps.
• Turn the twist shifter to 1st gear.
Advice:
Do not remove the Clickbox from the axle
end.
• Unscrew the barrel adjuster (1, Fig. 5)
completely. Unscrew the cover screw
(2), brush aside the barrel adjuster (1)
and remove the cover (3).
• Withdraw the shifter cable and clamping
bolt (1, Fig. 6) upwards, loosen the clamp
screw with a 2.5 mm Allen key and pull
the clamping piece from the cable .
• Remove and discard the old cable hou-
sing.
• Remove the cap (1, Fig. 7) from the
shifter. The nipple of the inner cable is
now visible.
• Push or pull the old inner cable (Fig. 7)
out of the shifter, e.g. using a small
screwdriver.
• Guide the new inner cable into the cable
inlet, through the shifter and the new
cable housing. Pull the cable tight.
• Insert the cap in the shifter.
• Position clamping bolt (1, Fig. 8) at a
distance of 90 mm.
Advice:
For positioning the clamping bolt use
adjust gauge (Fig. 9) (Part. No. 65 0324
107 000).
Tighten the clamping screw with a 2.5 mm
Allen key. Tightening torque 1.5 Nm (13
in.lbs.).
Cut off the cable end to 2 – 3 mm .
• Locate clamping bolt (1, Fig. 6) and
place shifter cable around the carrier
cylinder (counter-clockwise winding).
• Position the cover (3, Fig. 5) and tighten
up with the cover screw (2).
Torque 0.35 – 0.45 Nm (3.1 – 4.0 in.lbs.).
Screw in the barrel adjuster (1) com-
pletely.

Advice:
• If you want to remove the Clickbox from
the axle end for changing the cable, do
as follows:
– Place shifter in gear position "1".
– Loosen the knurled screw and pull
the Clickbox off the axle.
– Now it's essential to push the end (1,
Fig. 9) of the adjust gauge completely
into the Clickbox and tighten up the
knurled bolt (so that you maintain the
initial tension of the spring inside the
Clickbox).
– Change cable as per description above.
• If you remove the Clickbox from the
axle and change the cable without
using the end of the adjust gauge, then
you will lose the initial tension of the
spring inside the Clickbox. In this case
you must assemble the cable by placing
it around the carrier cylinder with an
additional winding (Fig. 6).
• Adjust the gears as described on
page 71.
