ATTENTION
Due to variations in auto manufacturing
tolerances, the transmission rods sup-
plied with this kit may require slight
bending to clear obstructions, etc.
Protect the threads
while bending.
BEND RODS COLD!
DO NOT APPLY HEAT!
WARNING
THIS TRANSMISSION DOES NOT HAVE AN INTERLOCK TO PREVENT ENGAGE-
MENT OF THE REVERSE GEAR WHEN ANY OF THE FORWARD GEARS ARE
ENGAGED. SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION WILL RESULT IF THIS
SHOULD OCCUR. DOUBLE-CHECK THE LINKAGE BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
OR MOVING THE CAR. INSERT NEUTRAL ALIGNMENT ROD (Pt. 1725) THROUGH
LEVERS AND CHECK POSITIONS OF TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ARMS. 1-2 AND
3-4 TRANSMISSION CONTROL ARMS MUST BE AT NEUTRAL POSITIONS OF
THEIR TRAVEL. REVERSE GEAR CONTROL ARM MUST BE AT
FORWARD
END OF
ITS TRAVEL (
DIS-ENGAGED
).

(shown)
1. Raise vehicle and support it with safety-approved jackstands.
Remove stock shifter and linkage. Remove the two bolts that
fasten the transmission extension housing to the crossmember
at the rear support. The transmission can be moved to the right
side to gain clearance for installation of the mounting plate and
shifter.
2. Install mounting plate on tailshaft. Tighten all bolts securely.
3. Install shifter onto mounting plate. Tighten mounting bolts.
Return transmission to normal position. Replace crossmember
mounting bolts and tighten them. Remove center console plate.
Install spacer block between stick and shifter. IMPORTANT –
CENTER MARK ON SPACER MUST FACE SHIFTER (toward
driver). Tighten stick mounting bolts.
4. Assemble hooked ends of rods into arms with nylon bushings
and spring clips. Refer to exploded Assembly View for proper part
combinations. Spin rod adjusting buttons onto threaded ends of
rods. Spin them onto middle of thread length.
5. MUNCIE TRANSMISSIONS – Install arm/rod/button assemblies
onto transmission shafts. Refer to Assembly View for proper part.
Fasten arms onto shafts with stock washers and bolts.
BORG-WARNER TRANSMISSIONS – Insert shaft adapters
(Pt. 101 0006) into slots in arms (refer to FIG. 1). Use stock lock-
washers and nuts to fasten arms.
REVERSE ARM ONLY – The tangs of the adapter must be filed
shorter to allow the Reverse arm to be fastened. Place adapter in
arm slot and file ends flush to surface of arm as shown in FIG. 1.
6. Align levers with shifter frame and insert neutral alignment rod
(Pt. 148 1725) through holes in levers.
7. Rotate transmission arms backward and forward. The neutral
position for each arm can be felt at the mid-position of full travel.
Reverse arm must be moved to the end of its travel toward the
front (dis-engaged position).
8. Adjust positions of button on each rod to permit easy slip-in fit of
button into nylon bushing in proper lever. TRANSMISSION ARMS
MUST REMAIN IN NEUTRAL POSITION WHILE ALIGNMENT IS
ACCOMPLISHED. Fasten buttons in levers with spring clips.
9. Remove neutral alignment rod. Test shifter. Stick should move
freely from side-to-side at neutral (between 1-2 and 3-4
shifting paths). An increased pull toward the operator should
engage the reverse lever. If shifter functions properly, proceed to
paragraph 11.
If the stick CANNOT be moved freely between 1-2 and 3-4 or
reverse path, one or more of the rod button adjustments must be
corrected. Move stick forward to 3rd, then back to 4th, then into
neutral. Insert neutral alignment rod. If rod CANNOT be inserted
freely, the 3-4 button is incorrectly adjusted. Similar testing of
1-2 shift will prove alignment of 1-2 rod adjustment.
To check reverse rod button adjustment, place stick at neutral.
Disconnect reverse rod adjusting button from reverse lever.
Grasp rod and push toward front of car. (Reverse arm is dis-
engaged when at end of forward travel.) Adjust rod button
for easy slip-in fit in bushing. Re-assemble and fasten with
spring clip.
10. Connect BACKDRIVE cable end to pin of HURST Reverse arm.
Fasten with stock hardware.
11. Adjust shifter stop bolts. Back both bolts out of shifter frame
until only a few threads remain engaged. Push stick firmly into
3rd gear and hold. Screw 3rd gear stop bolt in until contact is
felt. Back bolt out one turn and tighten locknut. Pull stick firmly
back into 4th gear, screw 4th gear stop bolt in until contact is
made, then back stop bolt out one turn and tighten locknut.
NOTE: A hole is provided in the reverse arm for the actuating
rod of a GM back-up light switch. If your transmission
is equipped with this switch, hook the switch rod in
this hole.
