Step 11: Put the shifter into the Park position and check the position of the quad lever. It will need
to be pointing to about the 4:30 – 5:00 position. If it is not, loosen the set screw in the
top of the quad lever with a 1/8" Allen wrench and slide the quad lever off of the shaft.
Reposition it on the shaft at approximately the 4:30 – 5:00 position, and retighten the set
screw. Fig. 6
NOTE: If your shifter is placed near the front of the bracket assembly, you may need to
position the quad lever slightly higher, such as at the 4:00 position instead. This will help
prevent over-centering the trans arm.
Step 12: Remove the rod end from the new trans arm. Make sure the transmission is in Park.
Remove the tape from the pinch bolt, and position the trans arm with the pinch bolt and
nylock nut onto the transmission gear selector shaft. The trans arm should be pointing
up and slightly towards the rear, with the inside of the curve facing the front of the
transmission like a backwards "C". The 1/4" hole in the end of the trans arm should be at
approximately the 1:00 position.
If your original trans arm interferes with the new trans arm, the original trans arm must be
cut off of the selector shaft. It is much easier to cut the trans arm off of the selector shaft
if you remove the selector shaft from the transmission first. If you remove the selector shaft,
we recommend that you install a new selector shaft seal (not included) when reassembling.
Tighten the nylock nut on the pinch bolt to hold the trans arm in position on the selector
shaft. Fig. 7
Step 13: The threaded rod will connect the quad lever to the trans arm. Check to make sure that
nothing will interfere with the travel of the threaded rod. If there is any interference, the
threaded rod can be bent slightly as needed.
Verify that both the shifter and the transmission are in the Park position. Measure
center-to-center between the 1/4" holes in the quad lever on the shifter and the trans arm
on the transmission. Subtract 1-3/4". Fig. 8 This is the length you will cut the threaded rod
to. Use a hacksaw or other metal-cutting saw to shorten the threaded rod, and then de-burr
the cut end of the rod.
