<strong>shifters</strong><br />
Shifter adjustment information:<br />
in what gears does the Lokar shifter lock?<br />
Lokar <strong>shifters</strong> fully lock in Park <strong>and</strong> Neutral . The lock-out system is designed so that the shifter cannot be accidentally bumped into gear from the Park or<br />
Neutral position . You must fully depress button to get shifter out of Park or Neutral .<br />
when using your <strong>shifters</strong> in a 4-wheel drive application, do i mount the rear bracket to the transfer case?<br />
No . It does not require mounting the rear bracket to the transfer case . You will simply tighten the setscrews in the top middle of the main plate .<br />
what do i do if the car starts in reverse, but not in park?<br />
Adjust neutral safety switch as described in the instructions provided with kit .<br />
when changing from one transmission to another, can i use the same shifter?<br />
There is no reason to buy another shifter . Conversion kits are available direct from Lokar . Call Lokar to order a conversion kit for your specific needs .<br />
the Lokar automatic transmission Shifters all come through the floor, are they all considered to be “floor mount”?<br />
No, they are not all considered to be “floor mount” . Lokar manufactures several different types of automatic transmission <strong>shifters</strong> . These are the transmission<br />
mount, tail mount, floor mount <strong>and</strong> the cable operated shifter . When referring to a Lokar floor mount shifter, the shifter is actually bolted directly to<br />
the floor pan .<br />
is the Cable operated Shifter more versatile than the floor Mount Shifter?<br />
Each shifter has benefits that will allow it to work in certain applications better than the other one . As a general rule, if the shifter is mounted toward the<br />
front of the transmission you will need to use the cable shifter . When the shifter is mounted toward the rear of the transmission you will not see any benefit<br />
from using the cable, unless the mounting of the shifter is desired more than 2” right or left of the center line, but otherwise the floor mount will actually<br />
work better in a rearward mounting location .<br />
GM <strong>shifters</strong>:<br />
is your shifter able to mount in the same location on a 700-r4 as a th-350?<br />
Yes .<br />
how do i tell if i have a 4L60 or a 4L60E transmission?<br />
The 4L60 has a 4-bolt tail shaft <strong>and</strong> the 4L60E has a 6-bolt tail shaft .<br />
