INSTALLATION PROCEDURES:
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING!
1.
Disconnect the battery cable.
2.
Unscrew the molding at one door so that the carpet or mat may be
folded to the opposite side for access to the shifter.
3.
Unscrew the boot and slide it upward for access to the top of the
transmission. Remove the shift handle knob and shift lever boot for
the transmission and (if a 4WD) the transfer case.
4.
Remove the shift lever out of transmission by removing the stamped
metal piece from the base of the stick. NOTE: Some models simply
unscrew, while others come apart by pushing down and turning
approximately 1/4" counterclockwise. On Borg Warner T18 trans-
missions found in some Ford products, it is necessary to remove a
small pin in the left side so that it does not fall into the transmission.
5.
Place a clean rag in the top of the transmission so that dirt does not
get in during removal and reinstallation.
6.
With the mat or carpet pulled to one side, remove the screw and bolts
from the tunnel housing and detach it. (Greater accessibility can be
gained by removal of the seat).
7.
Jack up the vehicle and support solidly. Be sure to block any wheels
remaining on the ground. CAUTION: Never go under a vehicle
that is not solidly supported. Adequate jack stands are recom-
mended. Before beginning work, always test a raised vehicle
carefully to be certain there is no danger that the vehicle will
fall.
8.
Unbolt the U-Joints and remove the rear driveshaft (on 4WD
vehicles, the front driveshaft must also be removed). The rear
driveshaft must be shortened 7-1/2", and the front driveshaft must
be lengthened respectively. (On Land Cruiser installations with a
GM V8, no driveline modifcations are required).
9.
Disconnect the speedometer cable. Because of the additional
length of the Ranger, it may necessary to lengthen the speedometer
cable. This may be accomplished in some cases by rerouting the
cable. If that isn't possible, then it may be necessary to have a new
cable made.
10.
Disconnect the backup light switch wires and the 4WD indicator light
wires on the transmission if your vehicle is so equipped. CAUTION:
Before proceeding any further, determine if the rear of the
engine is supported by mounts on the bellhousing or to the
"A" DIA.
