terminal connections and all other connections
to prevent shorts.
Reconnect the battery ground cable, dis-
connect the coil wire and set the parking
brake. Check the switch operation by at-
tempting to start the motor in each shifter
position. The starter must crank only
when the shifter is in the Park or the
Neutral position. Check the backup light
operation when the shifter is shifted to the
Reverse position. Adjust the switches if re-
quired. Reconnect the coil wire. Go to Step
37.

discard it.
STEP 14. Install the B&M selector lever
(See Figure 5 or 6). Note: The B&M lever
must point downward for proper operation. If
the stock shift lever on your transmission
points down, you will have to remove the
lower part of the stock arm by cutting it off to
clear the B&M lever (See Figure 5). Install
the B&M selector lever onto the shift shaft
of the transmission. Align the B&M selector
lever so when it points straight down it
travels equal arcs in both directions from
the center, then tighten the ¼”-20 x 1 ½”
pinch bolt and the nut. The lever should travel
smoothly from front to back with a positive
STEP 13. If you have not already done so,
remove the nut and the lockwasher holding the
downshift linkage onto the downshift lever
shaft from the transmission. The downshift
lever is the outer lever on C-4, C-5 and C-6
transmissions. Pull the lever off the shaft and
allow the linkage to hang free. Remove and
discard the stock shift linkage rods. Some C-
6, late C-4 and all C-5 transmissions have a
neutral safety/backup light switch on the trans-
mission shift lever. If your transmission is so
equipped, remove the two bolts holding the
switch in place and slide it off the shift shaft.
Disconnect the switch at the factory plug and
