(shown)
1. Remove stock shifter and linkage. Disconnect backdrive rod at
stock Reverse Arm only.
2. Install mounting plate on tailshaft. Tighten all bolts securely.
3. Assemble arms to rods using nylon bushings and spring clips.
Assemble buttons onto rods.
Chevy II & Nova 71-73 w/o Console - REFER TO FIG. 1
Install rod adjusting button in Reverse arm – hooked end of rod is
attached to reverse lever in shifter. Notice that both ends are installed from
the outside
.
4. Install arm/rod/button assemblies onto transmission shafts. Refer
to Assembly View for proper part combinations. Fasten arms onto
shafts with stock flatwashers, lockwashers and bolts.
5. Install shifter.
NOTE
Removal of the stick from the shifter will make the installation easier and
will also avoid possible damage to plating on stick.
Tighten mounting bolts securely.
Insert nylon bushings into holes in levers – refer to Assembly
View. Align levers with shifter frame and insert neutral alignment
rod (Pt. 1725) through notches in frame and holes in levers.
6. Rotate transmission arms backward and forward. The neutral
position for each arm can be felt at the mid-position of full travel.
Reverse arm must be moved to the end of its travel toward the
front (dis-engaged position).
CHECK NUMBERS STAMPED ON PARTS WITH NUMBERS SPECIFIED IN CONTENTS OF KIT
7. Adjust position of button on each rod to permit easy slip-in fit of
button into nylon bushings in proper lever. TRANSMISSION
ARMS MUST REMAIN IN NEUTRAL POSITIONS WHILE
ALIGNMENT IS ACCOMPLISHED. Fasten buttons in levers with
spring clips.
8. Remove neutral alignment rod. Test shifter. Stick should move
freely from side-to-side at neutral (between 1-2 and 3-4
shifting paths). An increased pull toward the operator should
engage to reverse lever. If shifter functions properly, proceed to
paragraph 9.
If the stick CANNOT be moved freely between 1-2 and 3-4 or
reverse path, one or more of the rod button adjustments must
be corrected. Move stick forward to 3rd, then back to 4th, then
into neutral. Insert neutral alignment rod. If rod CANNOT be
inserted freely, the 3-4 button is incorrectly adjusted. Similar
testing of 1-2 shift will prove alignment of 1-2 rod adjustment.
To check reverse rod button adjustment, place stick at
neutral. Disconnect reverse rod from reverse lever. Grasp rod
and push toward front of car. (Reverse arm is dis-engaged when
at end of forward travel.) Adjust rod button for easy slip-in fit in
bushing. Re-assemble and fasten with spring clip.
9. Adjust shifter stop bolts. Back both bolts out of shifter frame
until only a few threads remain engaged. Push stick firmly into
3rd gear and hold. Screw 3rd gear stop bolt in until contact is
felt. Back bolt out one turn and tighten locknut. Pull stick firmly
back into 4th gear, screw 4th gear stop bolt in until contact is
made, then back stop bolt out one turn and tighten locknut.
10. Connect the backdrive linkage rod to the hole provided at the
lower end of the arm. See note in side view picture. Fasten with
stock clip. Adjust backdrive linkage at lower end of steering
column if necessary, to achieve “column lock” in REVERSE.
ATTENTION
Due to variations in auto manufacturing
tolerances, the transmission rods sup-
plied with this kit may require slight
bending to clear obstructions, etc.
Protect the threads
while bending.
BEND RODS COLD!
DO NOT APPLY HEAT!
WARNING
THIS TRANSMISSION DOES NOT HAVE AN INTERLOCK TO PREVENT ENGAGE-
MENT OF THE REVERSE GEAR WHEN ANY OF THE FORWARD GEARS ARE
ENGAGED. SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION WILL RESULT IF THIS
SHOULD OCCUR. DOUBLE-CHECK THE LINKAGE BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
OR MOVING THE CAR. INSERT NEUTRAL ALIGNMENT ROD (Pt. 1725) THROUGH
LEVERS AND CHECK POSITIONS OF TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ARMS. 1-2 AND
3-4 TRANSMISSION CONTROL ARMS MUST BE AT NEUTRAL POSITIONS OF
THEIR TRAVEL. REVERSE GEAR CONTROL ARM MUST BE AT FORWARD END OF
ITS TRAVEL (DIS-ENGAGED).
