ididit Cable Shift Linkage Kit: GM Column to GM Transmission - Manual (Page 12)

8. The cable is the next piece that you are
looking for. Notice that both ends are the
same. We did that so that you could be right
the first time. You will need to take the small
nut and the rubber boots off so that you can
get one large nut and washer off. Put the cable
through the column bracket from the bottom
side and reinstall the large nut, washer and
boots. Try to center the nuts and washers on the available threads.
This is important later.
9. Push the cable down through its outer cover so that it will be as
short as possible. Put the column in Park. Now, figure out where
you want the bracket to be, 5 o’clock will probably be a good place.
Install the swivel on the small thread and turn it until it is centered
on the thread. Now, install the small nut and turn it until it bottoms
out on the swivel. Do not tighten yet.
10. Rotate the bracket until the swivel drops into the
5/16” single hole 2” from the center of the main
shaft. If the bracket hits something or is in a bad
place, you can use another set of holes in the
horseshoe bracket, move the swivel up or down
its thread length, or move the cable on its length
of threads. Always remember that the cable that
moves must be pushed in all the way. Tighten
the bracket, but not so much that it squeezes
the delrin bushing in the bottom of the column.
Doing so could make it hard to shift.
11. Route the cable towards the rear of the vehicle and then turn it in a
nice U shape. Stay away from the exhaust pipes. If this cable gets
too close, it will met and not work at all. This is very important!
12. Looking at the side of the
transmission, remove the
stock shift lever and the two
pan bolts marked with x’s.
Save the nut and washer from
the shift lever and the two pan
bolts.
