Warnings!!! Please read!!!
You will need at least 2” of clearance between the firewall and lower
shift lever for this product to function correctly.
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 brass. 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 trans in Low gear
and the shifter in Low gear, set the swivel so it slides in and out of the cor-
rect 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.

15. (cont.) 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 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.
