Building American Quality… With A Lifetime Warranty!
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.
Refer to Fig. 1 for the component names.
Tools and Materials Required:
• Standard Allen wrenches: 1/8", 5/32", 3/16", 7/32"
• Wrench or Socket Sizes: 5/16", 3/8", 7/16", 1/2", 9/16", 5/8", 7/8"
• Tape Measure
• Metal cutting tool, such as a hacksaw or a die grinder with a cut-off wheel
• Ohmmeter
• Wire cutters/strippers
• Wire crimping or soldering tools
• Blue thread locking compound
• Transmission fluid, transmission pan gasket, and selector shaft seal
(depending on application, see Step 12)
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 fit 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
transmission case. From that point up to the top of the knob is how the shifter length
is determined.
If you mount the shifter all the way forward, using the four bolt holes at the very front
of the main plate, a bell crank kit (Lokar Part No. S-68161, sold separately) will be
required.
Before attempting to make any adjustments, the shifter must be installed on the
transmission and the transmission should be installed into the vehicle.
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 Drive, depress the release button and then hold it down
while moving the shifter lever, and the shifter will automatically stop in the Drive
position. Once you release the button, then the shifter will allow you to move the lever
into 2nd gear. You must depress the button again to shift down into 1st gear.
These instructions assume that you have full access to the transmission when the
shifter installation is begun, with the transmission removed from the vehicle, or the
vehicle body removed from the chassis.
