General Installation Notes:
Please read these instructions completely before beginning the installation. If
you have any questions please call.
Before beginning the installation, disconnect the negative battery cable and use
wheel chocks to block the vehicle's wheels.
Make sure the engine, transmission, body and frame are properly grounded.
When installing a Lokar shifter onto an AOD transmission, Lokar's AOD Kickdown Kit will
also be required (sold separately).
Refer to Fig. 1 for the component names.
Tools and Materials Required:
• Standard Allen wrenches: 1/8", 5/32", 3/16"
• Wrench or Socket Sizes: 5/16", 3/8", 7/16", 1/2", 9/16", 7/8", 15/16"
• Tape Measure
• Metal cutting tool, such as a hacksaw or a die grinder with a cut-off wheel
• Drill and 5/16" drill bit
• Ohmmeter
• Wire cutters/strippers
• Wire crimping or soldering tools
• Blue thread locking compound
Lokar Shifters are designed to fit specific transmissions. Before installing
the shifter, verify that you have the proper model for your transmission. If
your shifter does not seem to connect to the transmission properly, do not
make modifications during installation as this may void your warranty. Call
for assistance.
Verify that the shifter length you have purchased is what you actually want.
When installed, the bottom of the shifter lever will be approximately 3-1/2" - 4"
above the bottom of the floor mount mounting bracket. From that point up to
the top of the knob is how the shifter length is determined.
The Lokar Floor Mount Shifter is designed to be installed to the rear of the
transmission selector shaft. If you need the shifter to be located close to or
in front of the transmission selector shaft, the Lokar Cable Operated Shifter
will be a better choice.
This shifter requires the installation of a Lokar Selector Shaft and Trans Arm
kit (included). The Selector Shaft and Trans Arm kit can be installed with the
transmission in the vehicle. However, if the transmission is already removed
from the vehicle, it is easier to install the Selector Shaft and Trans Arm kit
while the transmission is removed.

The shifter must be installed into the vehicle before attempting to make
any adjustments.
The shifter is designed to lock in Park and in Neutral. You must depress the
release button in the top of the shifter knob in order to shift out of Park or
Neutral. The release button will only be flush with the top of the shift knob
when the shifter is in Park or Neutral.
To shift from Park directly to Overdrive, depress the release button and then
hold it down while moving the shifter lever, and the shifter will automatically
stop in the Overdrive position. Once you release the button, then the shifter
will allow you to move the lever into the next lower gear. You must depress
the button again to shift down again.
