Lokar Cable Operated Shifter GM - Manual

Building American Quality… With A Lifetime Warranty!
General Installation Notes:
Please read these instructions completely before beginning the installation.
If you have any questions please call.
Before beginning the installation, disconnect the negative battery cable and use
wheel chocks to block the vehicle's wheels.
Make sure the engine, transmission, body and frame are properly grounded.
Refer to Figs. 1, 2 and 3 for the component names.
Tools and Materials Required:
• Standard Allen wrenches: 1/8", 5/32", 3/16"
• Wrench or Socket Sizes: 3/8", 7/16", 1/2", 9/16", 7/8", 15/16",
13mm (metric transmissions only)
• Tape Measure
• Metal cutting tool, such as a hacksaw or a die grinder with a cut-off wheel
• Drill and 5/16" drill bit
• Ohmmeter
• Wire cutters/strippers
• Wire crimping or soldering tools
• Blue thread locking compound
Lokar Shifters are designed to fit specific transmissions. Before installing
the shifter, verify that you have the proper model for your transmission. If
your shifter does not seem to connect to the transmission properly, do not
make modifications during installation as this may void your warranty. Call
for assistance.
Verify that the shifter length you have purchased is what you actually
want. When installed, the bottom of the shifter lever will be approximately
3-1/2" - 4" above the bottom of the floor mount mounting bracket. From
that point up to the top of the knob is how the shifter length is
determined.
The shifter must be installed into the vehicle before attempting to make
any adjustments.
The shifter is designed to lock in Park and in Neutral. You must depress
the release button in the top of the shifter knob in order to shift out of
Park or Neutral.
To shift from Park directly to Drive (or Overdrive), depress the release
button and then hold it down while moving the shifter lever, and the
shifter will automatically stop in the Drive (or Overdrive) position. Once
you release the button, then the shifter will allow you to move the lever
into the next lower gear. You must depress the button again to shift
down again.
