901 - 1.1 Checking / Adjusting Gearbox Potentiometer  
To avoid damaging the gearbox, the gearbox potentiometer setting must be  
checked before running the car on track or selecting gears with the engine  
running. If necessary, the gearbox potentiometer can be adjusted as described  
below.  
Checking gearbox potentiometer voltage  
1.  
2.  
Turn on the main and ignition switches  
Select neutral (N) – ‘gear’ value in display must be ‘N’ (rear wheels  
can be easily turned by hand)  
3.  
4.  
Selected display page 5 (‘startup’ page) and check ‘gearpot’ value  
The value displayed should be 1.2 V ± 0.03 V  
If the ‘gearpot’ value is outside the permitted range, the gearbox potentiometer  
must be adjusted.  
To check that the gearbox is in neutral (N) and not between gears, the position  
of the shift barrel can be checked. The gearbox potentiometer must be removed  
to do this. The groove to align the potentiometer must be set at ‘2 o’clock’.
