securely. Downshift lever must oper-
ate smoothly. Reconnect downshift
linkage, if used.
STEP 4. C-4/C-5 Cable bracket in-
stallation: Remove the two lower bolts
from the rear servo cover. Install cable
bracket in position, (See figure 6). In-
stall two servo cover bolts as removed
and tighten 12-13 lb-ft. Do not over
tighten as this can distort servo cover.
C-6 Cable bracket installation:Remove
the two transmission oil pan bolts from
the left rear corner of the oil pan. In-
stall the cable bracket in position (See
Figure 7) with two spacers between
the pan and the bracket. (If your trans-
mission 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 dam-
age the pan gasket.
STEP 5. Install the shifter in the car
as described in the shifter installation
instructions. Continue through step 3.
Then install the supplied B&M cable
in the car, routing the cable the same
as the original Ford cable. Attach it to
the underbody in the same locations
as the Ford cable. Do not route it close
to the exhaust. Connect the cable to
the cable bracket spacer. The tab on the cable goes on the front side of
cable bracket spacer.
Remove the two rubber boots, one
large nut, and a large lockwasher from
the threaded end of the shifter cable.
Slide the end of the cable into the
cable bracket, Install large nut and
lockwasher loosely over end of cable.
Install two rubber boots onto end of
cable. Install the swivel on the threaded
end of the cable and position it in the
center of the threaded portion.
STEP 6. Move the transmission selec-
tor lever by hand to full rear position
(LOW). Place the shifter lever to the
low gear position (ratcheted 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 le-
ver.
Adjust the cable with the proce-
dure shown here, rather than the pro-
cedure in the shifter instructions. With
the swivel in the selector lever, ratchet
the shifter to PARK position, as far
forward as the shifter will go without
forcing it. The shift lever on the trans-
mission should be all the way forward.
Check to see that the swivel will slide
Figure 1
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
LOW and PARK positions. Operate
shifter through all gear positions.
Check to make sure swivel will slide
in and out of the selector lever hole in
each gear position. Install cotter key
supplied with shifter into swivel and
spread key ends.
If you have a problem, DO NOT
FORCE THE SHIFTER, this will dam-
age the cable, the shifter or the trans-
mission. Simply start at the beginning
and carefully check all your steps.
If your vehicle has an ignition and/
or brake interlock adjust the interlock
cable as shown in the shifter instruc-
tions.
In addition to wiring the indicator
light in the shifter, it will be necessary
to hook up the Neutral safety and
Backup light switches on the shifter.
In the plug that originally connected
to the switch on the transmission lo-
cate and identify the Neutral safety
switch wires. (The engine will not crank
unless these wires are connected to-
gether), and backup light wires. Dis-
connect Battery ground cable before
beginning to wire the Neutral safety
