11. Install the transmission shift lever so that the squared end is closest to

the front of the vehicle. Add the washer and the nut to hold it in place.

12. Take the small nut,

two rubber boots,

and one large nut

and washer off the

transmission end

of the cable. Insert

the cable into the

bracket. Reinstall

the large washer, nut

and two boots. Rotate the shift lever clockwise to the park position.

Now you are going to put the swivel onto the threaded end of the

cable and turn it until it lines up with the middle hole of the shift lever.

Install the cotter pin. If it needs more travel, loosen the large nuts and

washers and move the cable forward or backward to gain more travel.

Then retighten the large nuts and washers. Install the

small nut and tighten.

13. Try to shift the column. You may experience a

tight pattern, if so slightly loose the bracket around

the column. This should allow the column to move

easier. If not check that the cable is in alignment

from the bracket to the lever.

Cable Adjustment:

If you do not adjust the cable correctly you could

damage the cable, shifter and/or transmission. Put the trans 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.
