4- If the slider sleeve was removed from
the shift lever, install the slide rack into the
shift
lever with the hole on the end for
securing the shift cable on the opposite end
of the hole that
will accommodate the ca-
ble. Position the center of the slide with
the center of the shift lever. Install the
NEW SHIFT LEVER 7-1 ,
~quare n~lon plu& ~ith the holes in the plug
In a ver tical pOSItIOnto permit the cable to
slide through. Two different size screws are
used on each end of the sleeve. Install the
short screw into the bottom of the sleeve to
prevent the sleeve from rubbing on the shift
box. Install the longer screw on the top part
of the sleeve. Install the sleeve with the
hole in the sleeve aligned with the hole for
the cable.
CRITICAL WORDS
Check the end of the cable to determine
if the temper has been removed. If the end
has a bluish appearance, it has been heated
at an earlier date and the temper removed.
The temper MUST be removed to permit the
holding screw to make a crimp in the wire
to hold an adjustment.
If the wire has not
been tempered, heat the end, but not enough
to melt the wire.
Slide the cable into the rack. Work the
inner wire into the sleeve and out the end of
the rack. Push the wire back until the end
is flush with the rack surface. Tighten the
TOP holding screw enough to make a defi-
nite crimp in the wire, as shown. If this
screw is not tightened to make the crimp,
the wire will slip during operation and the
adjustment will be lost. After the top screw
has been fully tightened, bring the other
screw up tight against the wire. It is not
necessary for this second screw to make a
crimp in the wire.
5- Place the wavy washer and regular
washer into the shift box, and then work the
shift lever handle down into the shift box
with one of the small caps under the shift
