Building American Quality… With A Lifetime Warranty!
General Installation Notes:
Please read instructions completely before beginning installation. If
you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
Before starting installation, set parking brake and scotch vehicle
wheels to avoid accidental movement of the vehicle. Disconnect bat-
tery cable before starting installation.
Refer to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 for the part names.
The Lokar column shift linkage is designed to work with GM style factory
or aftermarket column shift steering columns. The stainless steel rod is
designed to be cut-to-fit individual applications. The kit comes with a 21"
long rod, and a 26" long rod is also available. The Lokar Column Shift
Linkage is designed with identical rod ends so that the hex connector can
be used at either end of the stainless steel rod for clearance purposes.
Step 1: Put the shifter and trans selector shaft into the Park position.
Remove any existing linkage from the trans selector shaft and the
steering column.
On some transmissions, the original trans arm is welded to the trans
selector shaft. If that is the case on your transmission, you may be
able to leave the original trans arm in place and install the adjust-
able trans arm on the very end of the trans selector shaft. On some
transmissions, the original trans arm interferes and will need to be
cut off in order to install the new adjustable trans arm.
Step 2: Install the adjustable trans arm onto the trans selector shaft at
approximately the 8:00 position as a starting point, with the
"LOKAR" logo facing the transmission. See
Fig. 2 and Fig. 3. The
positioning varies per application, and it may be necessary to reposi-
tion the arm later in order to be able to get the transmission into all
gear positions. Tighten the 1/4"-20 x 7/8" socket head bolt to clamp
the adjustable trans arm to the trans selector shaft.
Step 3: The column shift arm could be one of several different designs, and
the type of column shift arm you have will determine how the Delrin
bushings will be positioned. If the raised shoulder in the center of
the provided Delrin bushings will fit inside the hole in the column
shift arm, then the Delrin bushings will be installed with the raised
shoulders facing each other inside the column shift arm. If the raised
shoulder in the center of the provided Delrin bushings will
NOT fit
inside the hole in the column shift arm, then the Delrin bushings will
be installed with the raised center shoulders facing outwards.
