Which parts must always be replaced when the shift linkage is disassembled?

Parts marked with an asterisk — the cotter pin and the O-ring — must always be replaced when disassembled.

What torque is specified for the hand lever holder and select stopper fasteners?

3.1 - 5.0 N·m (0.32 - 0.51 kg-m, 2.3 - 3.7 ft-lb), shown at three locations in the diagram.

Are there any special assembly cautions on this page?

Yes: the return spring must be installed as shown in the illustration, and attention must be paid to the direction of the cotter split pin.

This is page MT-26 from a Nissan factory service manual, covering the Transmission Gear Control section under 'Disassembly and Assembly.' The page presents a detailed exploded parts diagram of the manual transmission gear shift linkage assembly. Labeled components include the hand lever socket, dust cover, control lever, hand lever holder rubber, control rod spring, spring seat, wave washer, return spring, bushings, plain washer, cotter pin, boot, dust boot, select stopper, O-ring, support rod, and control rod. Torque specifications are given in N·m (kg-m, ft-lb): 3.1-5.0 N·m (0.32-0.51 kg-m, 2.3-3.7 ft-lb) at three fastener locations, 31-42 N·m (3.2-4.3 kg-m, 23-31 ft-lb) for the support rod bolt, and 6.3-8.3 N·m (0.64-0.85 kg-m, 4.6-6.1 ft-lb) for the control rod fastener. A footnote states cotter pins and O-rings must always be replaced when disassembled. A second set of illustrations (SMT473A) shows the assembled shifter and notes that the return spring must be installed as shown and that the cotter split pin's direction requires attention. Figure reference codes SMT472A and SMT473A appear on the page.
