succession backwards and forwards a
minimum of 10 times.
Gate: Move the gearshift lever to the right and
left a minimum of 10 times.
This allows the shift mechanism to center
itself.
If shift travel is imprecise (stops too soft), then
the shift mechanism must be bled again.
12 Perform a function test Shift through all gears,

Repeat bleeding (as of operation step 7).
