6. Push the cable down through its outer cover so that
it will be as short as possible. Put the column in
Park. Now, figure out where you want the bracket to
be, 5 o’clock will probably be a good place. Install
the swivel on the small thread and turn it until it is
centered on the thread. Now, install the small nut
and turn it until it bottoms out on the swivel. Do not
tighten yet.
7. Reinstall the shift lever as close to the swivel as
possible. Now you could turn the bracket or loosen the large nut and
adjust so that the swivel goes into the 5/16” hole that you drilled in the
shift arm. Insert the cotter pin in the swivel, tighten the large nut and
bolt on the bracket. Do not tighten so much that it squeezes the delrin
bushing in the bottom of the column. This could make it hard to shift.
Remember, the cable has to be pushed down completely.
8. Route the cable towards the rear of the vehicle and then turn it in a
nice U shape. Stay away from exhaust pipes. If this cable gets too
close, it will melt and not work at all. This is very important.
9. On the C-6 transmission
you must cut off the
original shift lever on the
transmission (see sample
above). Note: Once you
cut the old shift lever off,
there is no turning back!
Remove the two side cover
bolts marked with X’s.
Also remove the nut and washer from the kick down lever and then
remove the kick down lever itself.
10. Spacers need to be placed
between the bracket and the
transmission pan with the two
bolts supplied in the kit holding
it all together in the holes of the
bracket as shown.
