FIRST, READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, THEN PROCEED WITH EACH STEP INDIVIDUALLY.
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 Ford Shifter #70003B has the cable exiting out the rear of the control
towards the rear end. It then makes a 180 degree 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 installation of shaft #70036-1 will make it necessary to remove your valve body.
If you have a C4 valve body, proceed with STEP #6 thru #14. If you have a C6 valve
body, proceed with STEPS #15 thru #23.
Use Only Steps #6 thru #14 if C4 Valve Body.
(Advance ahead to Step #15 if C6 Valve Body.)
STEP # 6:
Transmission should be cool before removing valve body. If vehicle is on the ground,
secure so it will not roll. Drain transmission oil by carefully removing pan bolts.
Recommend leaving a couple of bolts attached until some of the oil has drained out.
