Powertrax TRANSMISSION - Manual (Page 12)

Step 4 Install Rod Transmission
Tighten bolts at bell-housing, approximately 40 ft/lbs.
Install driveline beam (torque arm).
Install drive shaft.
If necessary, trim floor pan for additional clearance with shifter in place.
Connect Speedo sensor and backup light switch wire connectors.
Step 5 Mounting the Shifter
Bolt shifter into place. Fasten shifter rods to the transmission. Place shifter align-
ment pin in place and reset the rod length, if required.
Note: The shifter rods must work freely without binding. Binding rods will cause
hard shifting. With rods set, set the shifter stops to prevent overshift.
Step 6 Weather Seal
Fabricate and install a weather seal at shifter opening. This can be made from
light gauge aluminum sheet and fastened to the floor pan using selftapping
screws and silicone sealer.
Place shifter boot over shifter handle and fasten using self-tapping screws.
Step 7 Lockout Pin
Disconnect steering wheel lockout pin or override system. For disconnecting pin,
see applicable year of Shop Manual.
To override system, push cable up into case. Fasten end of cable to body using
a self-tapping screw. Be sure cable will not work out of case.
If cable works free, the steering wheel will lock if pin is not removed.
Step 8 Replace Console Panel & Seat
Before installing, make sure transmission shifts with no interference to the console. Shift
through all gears.
Step 9 Gear Lube
Fill transmission with gear lube to fill plug, approximately two quarts.
Step 10 Run Check Procedure
With car on jack stand, run transmission a few minutes in each gear . This will allow the
lube to be circulated to all bearing and gears.
