13. The two transmission
pan bolts could be
either Metric thread or
American thread. 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.
14. 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.
15. Take the small nut, two rubber
boots and tone large nut and
washer off the transmission end of the cable. Insert the cable into the
bracket. Reinstall the large washer and 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.
16. Try to shift the column. You may experience a tight pattern, if so
loosen the clamp around the column. This should allow the column to
move easier. If not, check that cable is in alignment from the bracket
to the lever.
