Turbo Action 70012 CHEETAH SCS Shifter - Manual (Page 2)

Part #70012 2 2/92,7/98,1/02,6/06
Use Lifter Only To Go into Reverse. The unique reverse lockout system requires only
that you lift the reverse lockout mechanism with your two fingers while placing into reverse
with the same hand. Note: Do NOT lift mechanism for any other shift!
CAUTION: In a race it is imperative that the forward gears be precise in relation to the
shifter.
CAUTION! CAUTION! Be absolutely sure that vehicle is in park or neutral position
before attempting to start motor, and be sure that park/neutral
safety switch is adjusted properly.
SPECIAL NOTE: Sanctioned dragstrips require functional Neutral Safety Switch
mandatory.
STEP # 1: The Shifter is preassembled and only requires locating a suitable spot to
mount it and hooking up the necessary bracket to hang cable to side of the
transmission.
STEP # 2: If mounting shifter on thin floor pan, such as a Super Gas or Econo-Altered,
would suggest putting a thin steel strapping behind the floor pan to offer a
support where the shifter mounting bolts go through. Be sure to locate shifter
in a position which will be comfortable for the driver to shift. After drilling holes
in floor, start two rear bolts and make finger tight. Two front bolts leave out at
this time; as you will be installing your Park/Neutral Start Switch Mounting
Bracket later.
SPECIAL NOTE: The G.M. Shifter #70012 has the cable exiting out the rear of
the control towards the rear end. It then makes a 180 turn
back towards engine. The cable should in most cases go
under the cross member and then mount to the transmission.
STEP # 3: The cable included with this shifter is very unique. You can make many
tight radius turns and it will still work smoothly. It also is very sturdy even
though it is highly flexible.
STEP # 4: When routing the cable, be sure to keep away from rotating parts (driveshaft,
u-joints, etc.) and hot parts (headers, mufflers, etc.). NOTE: On installation
if you will come through floor pan as close to the driver’s side of the hump as
possible, the cable will then lie snug against the side of hump and will be 4-5
inches from the driveshaft. If necessary, use some plastic ties to keep cable
from moving around.
STEP # 5: The #70050A G.M. Pan Cable Bracket is completely universal with no
compromise. NOTE: Fig. #1 which gives bracket location on transmission pan
rail for the Turbo 200, Turbo 250, Turbo 350 and Turbo 400.
STEP # 6: Before bolting transmission Pan Cable Bracket to transmission install the
u-shaped Cable Clamp and Shim into proper set of holes (See Fig. #2).
