Step 19: Slide the hex connector with the second 5/16"-24 female rod

end onto the end of the stainless steel rod. Attach the rod

end to the adjustable trans arm with the 5/16"-24 X 1-1/4"

hex head bolt, two flat washers, and nylock nut as shown

Fig. 14. Tighten the set screws in the hex connector

using a 1/8" hex wrench, but only enough to mark the

stainless steel rod and hold the hex connector in place

during the adjustment procedure.

Step 20: Adjust the column shift linkage so that the shift lever will

enable you to get the transmission into all gear ranges.

Once you have the final adjustment done, tighten the jam

nuts at both ends of the stainless steel rod.

Step 21: Disconnect the stainless steel rod from the hex

connector and grind two small flat spots on the rod

where each of the set screws contact it (this will help

maintain the position of the rod). Apply thread locking

compound (not supplied) to the set screws, and then

install and tighten them.
