remove the top plate, loosen the two screws
that secure the indicator cable to the tops
plate and slide the bracket forwards or back-
wards until the indicator is aligned. Tighten the
two screws carefully since they are threaded
into plastic. See figure 4. Snap the top plate
back onto the tower.
STEP 31. Remove the stick and trigger from
the shifter. Remove the two screws that se-
cure the stick to the shifter and remove the
hitch pin that secures the trigger to the mecha-
nism. See figure 12. Install the leather boot.
Turn the boot inside out and slide it over the
bottom of the stick. Put the stick back in place
on top of the mechanism, reinstall the two
screws and tighten. Slide the trigger back
through the stick and the steel trigger plate on
the shifter. Reinstall the hitch pin. Pliers are
the best tool for this installation.
STEP 32. Turn the boot right side out and
snap the boot into the top plate. Install the T-
Handle or knob and jam nut. Tighten the jam nut
when the handle/knob is properly oriented. A
special jam nut is included with the shifter. It is
round with just two flats. The chamfered side
goes down. Use a little Loctite on the threads
to keep the handle/knob from turning. Check
the operation of the shifter.
If you want to have the logo in the T-
Handle/knob paint filled to match the interior of
your car, follow these steps. Using masking
tape cover the T-Handle/knob leaving the logo
exposed as well as a 1/2" boarder around the
logo. Spray the handle with the desired color.
When the paint dries, remove the tape and
wipe off the overspray with lacquer thinner.
Be careful not to allow the wet rag to touch the
painted area inside the logo. A Q-Tip may be
helpful in the center of the logo for removing

top with tabs inserting into slots at either end
of window opening. Windows are provided
for both three speed and four speed transmis-
sions.
STEP 30. Check the alignment of the indica-
tor. Turn on the ignition to light the LED and
move the shifter through all positions to see if
the LED lights all of the gear positions on the
indicator. If the indicator is not correctly aligned, easily with tin snips.) Once tower is properly
trimmed, install the tower putting the shifter
top plate and indicator cable through the open-
ing in the top of the tower. The indicator cable
should be routed around the front of the shifter
and out on the left side of the shifter while the
tower is being installed. See figure 11. Use
two flat head sheet metal screws to secure the
tower. The two wires for the indicator light
should be connected to a ground and to a
connection that is hot whenever the ignition is
on. The red wire on the LED must run to the
hot wire and the black wire must run to ground
or the LED will not light. Remember, the LED
must be illuminated anytime the ignition is on,
or you will not be able to tell what position the
shifter is in.
STEP 29. Install the top plate to the tower.
Feed the indicator cable into the tower and
then snap the top plate into the four slots in the
top of the tower. Snap shift position window
into top plate. The window snaps in from the

IMPORTANT
Before installing the T-handle or
knob onto the shifter put Loc-tite on
the threads of the stick. The alumi-
num of the T-handle or knob may gall
on the threads of the stick and make
it impossible to remove the T-handle
or knob from the stick. If this occurs it
can cause the stick to break if you use
excessive force while attempting to
remove the T-handle or knob from the
stick.
