OPTIONAL ADJUSTMENT OF SHIFTER STICK TENSION
Shifter operation can be made “softer” by removing the small spring (inner) from left side of shifter
stick or removing both springs. By removing left spring, 2-3 shift will be tighter while 5-6 shift will be
softer.
CAUTION: SUDDEN RELEASE OF SPRINGS THAT ARE UNDER COMPRESSION IS
DANGEROUS. RELEASE SPRINGS CAREFULLY. REMOVE THE SPRINGS ONE SIDE AT A
TIME. SHIFTER CAN BECOME DISASSMBLED IF BOTH SIDES ARE REMOVED AT THE SAME
TIME.

3. Fasten the Billet/Plus Shifter to the transmission using the
new hex head bolts and flatwashers supplied. DO NOT USE
THE ORIGINAL BOLTS. Tighten the bolts evenly. Do not
exceed 35ft/lbs. torque. (See Figure 3)
4. Test shifter operation. Move the stick through the entire
gear shift pattern, making sure it engages each gear fully and
that the stick moves freely from side to side in the “neutral”
position.
NOTE: While engine is not running, “reverse” engagement will
be difficult due to factory installed
transmission.
Loosen and carefully remove both socket head cap screws.
Remove the slide retainer plate to expose the springs. Remove
the inner (smaller) spring only. Replace the retainer and the
screws. Tighten both screws to 125-150 inch pounds. Repeat
this procedure on the opposite side if desired. (See Figure 4)
NOTE: If you are not satisfied with the “softer” shifter stick
tension, reinstall the inner springs.
