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 Overdrive, depress the release button and then hold it down while
moving the shifter lever, and the shifter will automatically stop in the Overdrive position. Once
you release the button, then the shifter will allow you to move the lever into 3rd gear. You must
depress the button again to shift down into 2nd gear or 1st gear.
These instructions assume that you have full access to the transmission when the shifter instal-
lation is begun, with the transmission removed from the vehicle, or the vehicle body removed
from the chassis.
Step 1: If your vehicle already has a shifter of any type installed, disconnect all shifter linkage
andremovetheshifteranditsrelatedhardware(neutralsafetyswitch,back-uplight
