Warnings!!! Please read!!!
Melted Cables: If your cable is too close to your exhaust it will melt or
become brittle. If this is the case you will need to make a heat shield. Do
not wrap the cable as this retains heat. Heat will destroy the cable.
Kinked Cables: Do not kink the cable anywhere along its length. If the
cable has a kink it will lock up. The cable should be kept straight for 2”
on each end where it leaves the bracket. Either of the above could damage
the cable, shifter, and/or transmission in one shift.
Cable Adjustment: If you do not adjust the cable correctly you could
damage the cable, shifter and/or transmission. Put the transmission in
Low gear and the shifter in Low gear, set the swivel so it slides in and out
of the correct hole freely. Then move the transmission and shifter to Park
(all the way the other way). Rotate the cable swivel until it slips in and out
of the hole freely. Now go back and forth between Park and Low gear and
fine tune the adjustment. See instructions for further detail.
