Step 10: The threaded rod will connect the quad lever to the
trans arm. Check to make sure that nothing will
interfere with the travel of the threaded rod. If there is
any interference, the threaded rod can be bent slightly
as needed.
Verify that both the shifter and the transmission are in
the Park position. Measure center-to-center between
the 1/4" holes in the the quad lever on the shifter and
the trans arm on the transmission. Subtract 1-3/4".
Fig. 5 This is the length you will cut the threaded
rod to. Use a hacksaw or other metal-cutting saw to
shorten the threaded rod, and then de-burr the cut end
of the rod.
Step 11: Verify that both 1/4"-28 jam nuts are on the threaded
rod, and install a rod end onto each end of the
threaded rod. Attach the threaded rod assembly to the
outside of the quad lever and to the inside of the trans
arm using the 1/4"-28 x 1" button head bolts, flat
washers, and nylock nuts as shown in Fig. 6 and
Fig. 7. The button head bolts can be installed from
either direction, but make sure the rod end is sand-
wiched between the flat washer and the quad lever or
trans arm.
Step 12: Check the adjustment of the shifter with the shifter all
the way forward in the Park position. Make sure that
the release button still moves up and down freely. The
release button should be flush with the knob in Park
and Neutral. In the Reverse position, you cannot pull
the lever back into Neutral without depressing the
release button.
While the shifter is in the Park position, make sure
the transmission is firmly in the "Park" detent, with
no tension on the threaded rod. You can verify this
by removing the 1/4"-28 x 1" button head bolt with
nylock nut that attaches the rod end to the quad lever
or trans arm at either end of the threaded rod. Make
sure the hole in the rod end exactly aligns with the
hole in the quad lever or trans arm. The bolt should
pass freely through both holes at the same time
without binding. Do not force the holes to line up.
If the holes are not aligned, screw the rod end in or
out just enough to be able to slide the bolt in and out
without putting tension on the threaded rod. Make
sure that the quad lever and trans arm do not move
during the adjustment procedure. Use this adjustment
routine until the bolt will pass freely in and out of both
the rod end and the quad lever or trans arm. Reinstall
the 1/4"-28 nylock nut and the flat washer onto the
bolt and tighten.
Once you have the shifter adjusted correctly, tighten
the jam nuts on the threaded rod. Fig. 8
