Typical Tower Mount Configuration
1.
Minimum floor or support plate thickness for mounting the tower assembly is .250” for aluminum or .125” for
steel. The OEM is responsible for providing a tower mounting surface sufficient to make the shift tower “feel
solid”.
2.
Floor plate connectors must be mounted to prevent contamination from entering the tower area.
3.
The Shift Control assembly must be mounted in the cab within easy reach of the driver’s normal position.
Note:
The driver must be able to see and use the Shift Control at all times.
4.
The Shift Control assembly should not interfere with other vehicle related controls or features.
5.
If the shift tower is not mounted on a removable plate, an access floor plate is necessary to service compo-
nents on top of the transmission. See “Installation Requirements” on page 3 for details.
