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.
