anchor, be accurate.
Mounting the cable anchor to the
chassis is not recommended. The
cable should always be mounted to
the (engine/transmission) combina-
tion. This is important because if
the (engine/transmission) combina-
tion were to move forward or back-
ward the cable anchor would stay
in the same position. If the cable
anchor is attached to the chassis,
any movement of the (engine/trans-
mission) combination could cause
the transmission to accidentally be
forced into a different gear. This
could result in serious transmission
damage as well as the possible loss
of vehicle control should the ve-
hicle be under acceleration or de-
celeration.
STEP 12. The mounting tab holes
measure 5 1/2" (center to center). Once
the shifter location is determined, firmly
mount the tabs to the chassis. The
method of the chassis' tab attachment
is your choice, but welding is preferred.
These tabs must be solid to avoid flex
and vibration. We recommend the
material thickness of 3/16". (Figure
#3 shows the recommended tab
shape and dimensions). With the
tabs on the chassis, slip the shifter
body over the top of the tabs. Carefully
remove the single screw that is tempo-
rarily holding the cover in place. Make
sure that your tabs do not interfere with
any of the internal mechanism compo-
nents.
STEP 13. Install the supplied 5/16" x
3/4" countersunk bolts through the
countersunk mounting holes from the
outside of the shifter body and through
the holes in the chassis' tabs. From
inside of the shifter body, place the
supplied 5/16" nyloc nuts onto the
bolts and tighten. This will clamp the
chassis' tabs to the shifter body. Be
sure not to move the internal shifter
mechanism or the gate plate while the
cover is off.
STEP 14. Reinstall the side cover with
all five screws and tighten. Once the
cover is installed, check to make sure
that the shifter operates smoothly with
no binding. If the shifter seems to bind
check to make sure that the reverse
lockout spring loaded detent lever did
not get pulled out from inside the mecha-
nism (See Photo #8). With needle
nose pliers reset the detent while lightly
pushing down on the gate plate.
ADJUSTING THE SHIFTER CABLE
STEP 15. Place the shifter into the
true Neutral position by releasing the
reverse lockout. Hand place the selec-
tor lever on the transmission into the
Neutral position. With both, the shifter
and the transmission in the Neutral
position you can begin the final shifter
cable attachment.
STEP 16. Remove from the cable end
the 10-32 nut, the two dust seals and
one 7/16" jam nut and lock washer.
Leave one jam nut and one locking
washer on the cable. Route the cable
through the mid plate so that the cable
end is pointing towards the back of the
car. Once the cable is through the mid-
plate, reinstall the 7/16" lock washer
and the jam nut along with the two dust
seals. Leave loose for the moment.
STEP 17. Screw the 10-32 jam nut all
the way onto the threaded cable end till
it stops. Then thread the #80323 quick
