Lokar Shifters are designed to fit specific transmissions. Before installing the shifter,

verify that you have the proper model for your transmission. If your shifter does not

seem to fit properly, do not make modifications during installation as this may void

your warranty. Call for assistance.

Verify that the shifter length you have purchased is what you actually want. When

installed, the bottom of the shifter lever will be approximately 4" above the tail housing

bolts. From that point up to the top of the knob is how the shifter length is determined.

Before attempting to make any adjustments, the shifter must be installed on the

transmission and the transmission should be installed into the vehicle.

The shifter is designed to lock in Park and in Neutral. You must depress the release

button in the top of the shifter knob in order to shift out of Park or Neutral. The release

button will only be flush with the top of the shift knob when the shifter is in Park or

Neutral.

To shift from Park directly to Drive, depress the release button and then hold it down

while moving the shifter lever, and the shifter will automatically stop in the Drive

position. Once you release the button, then the shifter will allow you to move the lever

into Second gear. You must depress the button again to shift down into First gear.

These instructions assume that you have full access to the transmission when the

shifter installation is begun, with the transmission removed from the vehicle, or the

vehicle body removed from the chassis.
