ididit Cable Shift Linkage Kit: GM Column to GM Transmission - Manual (Page 8)

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.
