GM Column to 700R4 Trans - Before installation 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.

*The 700R4 transmission lever is labeled as 700 on the lever. The 350/400 lever is not labeled. A sure

way you are using the right lever is when the levers are facing the same way (flat, rounded end towards

your right) the 700R4 lever is beveled up and the 350/400 is beveled down.

Note: You will need to purchase 2 Transmission Pan Bolts 1/4” Longer
