Building American Quality… With A Lifetime Warranty!
General Installation Notes:
Please read these instructions completely before beginning the
installation. If you have any questions please call.
Before beginning the installation, disconnect the negative battery
cable and use wheel chocks to block the vehicle's wheels.
Make sure the engine, transmission, body and frame are properly
grounded. We recommend using anti-seize lubricant on all
aluminum threads.
The Lokar Column Shift Linkage is designed to work with GM style factory
or aftermarket column shift steering columns. The stainless steel rod is
designed to be cut to fit individual applications. The kit comes with a 21"
rod, and a 26" rod (part #1832) is also available for purchase separately.
The Lokar Column Shift Linkage is designed with identical rod ends so that
the hex connector can be used at either end of the stainless steel rod for
clearance purposes.
Refer to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 for the part names.
Step 1: Put the shifter and transmission selector shaft into the Park position.
Remove any existing linkage from the transmission selector shaft and
the steering column.
Step 2: Install the splined trans arm bushing onto the transmission selector
shaft with the open end facing out. Make sure the flats in the bushing
are aligned with the flats on the selector shaft. This kit includes two
trans arm nuts, one metric 10mm (has nicks on hex) and one standard
3/8"-16 (except 6L80E comes with 10mm only). Using the proper trans
arm nut for your application, tighten the splined trans arm bushing onto
the transmission selector shaft.
Step 3: Install the adjustable trans arm onto the splined trans arm bushing at
approximately the 8:00 position as a starting point, with the "LOKAR"
logo facing the transmission. See Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 4, and Fig. 5.
The positioning varies per application, and it may be necessary to
reposition the arm in order to be able to get the transmission into all
gear positions.
Step 4: The steering column arm could be one of several different designs,
and the type of steering column arm you have will determine how the
Delrin® bushings will be positioned. If the raised shoulder in the center
of the provided Delrin® bushings will fit inside the hole in the steering
column arm, the Delrin® bushings will be installed with the raised center
shoulders facing each other inside the steering column arm. If the
raised shoulder in the center of the provided Delrin® bushings will NOT
fit inside the hole in the steering column arm, the Delrin® bushings will
be installed with the raised center shoulders facing outwards.
