ididit Cable Shift Linkage Kit: GM Column to GM Transmission - Manual (Page 4)

8. The cable is the next piece that you are looking
for. Notice that both ends are the same. We did
that so that you could be right the first time. You
will need to take the small nut and the rubber
boots off so that you can get one large nut and
washer off. Put the cable through the column
bracket from the bottom side and reinstall the
large nut, washer and boots. Try to center the nuts and washers on the
available threads. This is important later.
9. 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.
10. Rotate the bracket until the swivel drops into the
5/16” single hole 2” from the center of the main
shaft. If the bracket hits something or is in a bad
place, you can use another set of holes in the
horseshoe bracket, move the swivel up or down
its thread length, or move the cable on its length
of threads. Always remember that the cable that
moves must be pushed in all the way. Tighten
the bracket, but not so much that it squeezes
the delrin bushing in the bottom of the column.
Doing so could make it hard to shift.
11. Route the cable towards the rear of the vehicle and then turn it in a
nice U shape. Stay away from the exhaust pipes. If this cable gets
too close, it will met and not work at all. This is very important!
12. 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.
