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. Looking at the side of the

transmission, remove

the stock shift lever

and the two pan bolts

marked with X’s.

Save the nut and

washer from the shift

lever and the two pan

bolts.

10. The two transmission pan bolts could be either Metric or American

threads. You will need to purchase two bolts 1/4” longer than the two

that you removed. Spacers need to be placed between the bracket and

the transmission pan with the two longer bolts holding it all together in

the holes of the bracket as shown.
