parts. The cable may be secured up and
out of the way with nylon cable ties. Slide
the end of the cable into the cable bracket,
install the lockwasher and the large nut
over the end of the cable. Position the
cable so the threaded portion of the cable
housing is centered in the cable bracket.
Tighten both large nuts to hold the cable
in this position. Install the two rubber
boots onto the end of the cable.
STEP 17. Move the transmission selec-
tor lever by hand to full rear position (Low).
Place the shifter lever to the Low gear po-
sition (all the way back). Adjust the large
nuts on the cable so that the swivel will
slide into the hole on the selector lever.
Tighten the large nuts completely. Be
sure that the swivel will slide freely in and
out of the hole in the selector lever.
With the swivel in the selector lever,
move the shifter to the Park position, as
far forward as the shifter will go without
forcing it. (The shifter has further travel
that is used to reach the GM Park position
but is not used on Ford transmissions.
Trying to force the cable will damage the
cable.) The shift lever on the transmis-
sion should be all the way forward. Check
to see that the swivel will slide freely in
and out of the hole in the lever in this
position. If it does not slip in freely, adjust
the swivel slightly until it will slip into the
hole in the lever in both the Low and Park
positions. Operate the shifter through all
the gear positions. Check to make sure
the swivel will slide in and out of the
selector lever hole in each gear position.
Install the cotter key supplied with the
shifter into the swivel and spread the key
ends.
pan bolts from the left rear corner of the
oil pan. Install the cable bracket in posi-
tion (See Figure 5) with two spacers be-
tween the pan and the bracket. (If your
transmission is equipped with a cast alu-
minum oil pan, these spacers can be
omitted.) Install the two 5/16-18 x 1.00"
bolts supplied and tighten to 12-13 lb.ft.
Do not overtighten as this can damage
the pan gasket.
STEP 16. Remove the two rubber boots,
one large nut, and a large lockwasher
from the threaded end of the shifter cable.
Route the shifter cable according to Fig-
ure 2. Avoid sharp bends and route the
cable away from hot engine exhaust back with a positive click in each gear
position. Make sure the O-ring is in posi-
tion on the downshift shaft and install the
downshift lever in position on the shaft.
Install the lockwasher and nut and tighten
securely. The downshift lever must oper-
ate smoothly. Reconnect the downshift
linkage.
STEP 15. Cable bracket installation:
C-4, C-5: Remove the two lower bolts from
the rear servo cover. Install the cable
bracket in position (See Figure 4). Install
the two servo cover bolts as removed and
tighten to 12-13 lb.ft. Do not overtighten
as this can distort the servo cover.
