you fabricate a stiffener plate for additional
strength.
STEP 5. Remove the mounting bracket
assembly. Tighten the four screws securely.
At each end drill a 1/4" hole through one of
the locking holes in each end bracket into
the top plate. Put a 1/4" screw and lock
washer into each of these holes to lock the
bracket together. Attach the shifter to the
mounting bracket with four 1/4-20 X 3/4"
screws and lock washers.
STEP 6. Install (but do not secure) carpet
back to it’s original position. Cut holes in
the carpet for the mounting holes and
cable. DO NOT use a drill bit to make holes
in carpet.
STEP 7. Assemble Neutral Safety and Re-
verse light switches to bracket using two
#4-40 x 1" screws and nuts, as shown in
figure 1. Beware, Over tightening the
switch attachment screws will crack the
switch housings. Install Switch assembly
on shifter. To adjust switches loosen screws
and slide switches in or out as required,
then retighten screws.
STEP 8. Install cable on shifter as shown
in figure 1. The cable attachment tab
should be bolted to the outside surface of
the shifter base using 1/4" x 1/2" hex screw,
lock washer and nut. Install the E-Ring that
secures the cable to the cable pin.
STEP 9. Just before the final installation
of the shifter in the vehicle, attach the
indicator cable to the side of the shifter as
shown in figure 3. The indicator cable
bracket is secured to the shifter mecha-
nism with two #6 x 3/4" sheet metal screws
and the eyelet on the end of the indicator
cable is secured to the cable pin by a
supplied small E-Ring.
STEP 10. Install shifter mechanism into
vehicle. Slide shifter cable through carpet
and hole in floor. Bolt shifter down using
four 1/4-20 x 1-1/2" full thread hex screws,
nuts, lock washers and flat washers. If the
mounting bracket does not sit flat of the
floor, the tabs at the end of the mounting
bracket can be bent so that they will fit the
floor. ROUTE CABLE AS SHOWN IN
FIGURE 4, AVOID SHARP BENDS
WHICH WILL KINK AND DAMAGE
CABLE. Use cable clamps or tie wraps to
secure the cable housing to chassis to
avoid contact with hot engine or exhaust
system.
STEP 11. Seal the hole where the cable
goes through the floorboards to prevent air
or water leakage. A putty type sealer can
be used. For General Motors vehicles go
