General Installation Notes:
Please read instructions completely before beginning installation.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
Before starting installation, set parking brake and scotch vehicle
wheels to avoid accidental movement of the vehicle. Disconnect
battery cable before starting installation.
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"
long rod, and a 26" long rod is also available. 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 selec-
tor 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 one metric 10mm trans arm nut (has nicks on hex) and
one standard 3/8"-16 trans arm nut. 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 and Fig. 4. 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 column shift arm could be one of several different designs,
and the type of column shift 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 column shift arm, then the Delrin® bushings will be installed
with the raised shoulders facing each other inside the column
shift arm. If the raised shoulder in the center of the provided
Delrin® bushings will NOT fit inside the hole in the column shift
arm, then the Delrin® bushings will be installed with the raised
center shoulders facing outwards.
