route the cable away from hot engine or
exhaust parts.
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 the large nut
and the lockwasher loosely over the end of the
cable. Install the two rubber boots onto the end
of the cable. Install the swivel on the threaded
end of the cable and position it in the center of
the threaded portion.
STEP 35. Be sure that the two speed limiter
blocker pin and e-clips are installed as shown
in Figure 1. The two speed limiter blocker pin
is required because the Powerglide has only
two forward gear positions.
Move the transmission selector lever by
hand to the full rear position (Low). Operate
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 in the selector lever that is labeled
B&M1 (See Figure 9). Tighten the large nuts
completely. Be sure that the swivel will slide
freely in and out of the hole in the selector
lever. Note: The shifter will not operate
correctly unless the B&M1 hole in the
shift lever is used.
Leave the swivel out of the hole and move
the selector lever to Park, all the way forward.
