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.

Refer to Fig. 1 for the component names.

Tools and Materials Required:

• Standard Allen wrenches: 1/8", 5/32", 3/16", 7/32"

• Wrench or Socket Sizes: 5/16", 3/8", 7/16", 1/2", 9/16", 5/8", 7/8"

• Tape Measure

• Metal cutting tool, such as a hacksaw or a die grinder with a cut-off wheel

• Ohmmeter

• Wire cutters/strippers

• Wire crimping or soldering tools

• Blue thread locking compound

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 3-1/2" - 4” above the

transmission case. From that point up to the top of the knob is how the shifter length

is determined.

If you mount the shifter all the way forward, using the four bolt holes at the very front

of the main plate, a bell crank kit (Lokar Part No. S-6999, sold separately) will be

required.

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

mission 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 posi-

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

2nd gear. You must depress the button again to shift down into 1st 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.

Neutral Safety Switch Adjustment and Wiring Release Button Step 16: For the neutral safety switch to function properly, the shifter linkage must be adjusted correctly. Do not attempt to adjust the neutral safety switch unless you have completed Step 15. The Lokar neutral safety switch is a simple on/off, non-directional switch. The switch passes current (turns on) when the ball is pushed in. It does not pass current (turns off) when the ball is out at its at-rest position.
