Lokar Cable Operated Sensor Kit

IMPORTANT: Read all mounting options and instructions thor-

oughly before beginning installation. These instructions provide

some typical mounting options. Choose the instruction best

suited for the needs of this installation.

MOUNTING OPTIONS: The cable operated sensor kit consists

of 3 main components. The sensor, decoder box and sensor

mounting brackets.

The Lokar Cable Operated Indictor Kit is equipped to mount

the sensor on the transmission or some remote location under

the body within 5 feet of the transmission selector shaft.

For a remote mounting location inside the vehicle a Lokar

Remote Mounting Cable Kit will be required. Part No:

CINR-1796. This provides 7 more feet of mounting

capability, for a total of 12 feet.

The decoder box should be mounted inside the vehicle out of

the elements. A transmission specific sensor bracket is supplied

and mounts on the transmission. A universal sensor bracket is

also supplied that gives the flexibility of mounting the sensor in

a location of choice other than on the transmission.

WARNING: Disconnect battery before beginning installation.

Make sure vehicle is in Park and that the tires are scotched.

OPTION I: MOUNTING THE SENSOR ON THE TRANSMISSION

WITH A LOKAR SHIFTER

Step 1: When installing the sensor on the transmission the sensor

must be mounted on the passenger side of the transmission.

Using the supplied bolts, washers and spacers attach the

sensor bracket to the transmission using the first and second

pan bolts to the rear of the dipstick hole. Photo 1

Step 2: Snug bolts but do not tighten at this time. Mount the sensor to

the trans bracket using the 8-32 x 5/16 long button head screws

and # 8 lock washers to attach the sensor to the bracket. Adjust

the sensor and bracket forward or backwards until the sensor arm

can move through its full travel without the sensor arm interfering

with the trans case. Tighten the mounting bolts. Mount the adjust-

able cable bracket on the driver side of the transmission using

the second pan bolt to the rear of the selector shaft. Adjust the

bracket (flat with the hole) to approximately 90 degrees to the pan

rail. This will be final adjusted later in this installation. Photo 2

Step 3: Install the AOD indicator arm. The arm needs to mount on top of

the stock Ford selector shaft arm with hook down and the 7/16

bolt going through the hole in the indicator arm. The two tabs on

the Lokar trans lever adapter will keep this centered. Photo 3

Step 4: Install the cable housing between the sensor housing and

the adjustable cable bracket. Route the cable housing from the

adjustable cable bracket to the sensor. Remove the two flat head

screws in the sensor cap on the sensor housing. Fit the cable

housing between the sensor housing and the sensor cap. There

is a groove in the sensor housing to receive the cable housing.

Mark the cable housing at this point. Remove the cable housing

from the brackets. (NOTE) Tape the cable housing and use a

fine tooth hacksaw blade to cut the cable housing. Before mov-

ing forward be sure the end of the cable housing is open and

the inner wire will slide in without interference. Install the cable

housing into the sensor housing by clamping it between the alu-

minum body and the removable cap. Install the other end back

into the adjustable cable bracket and tighten. (NOTE) It is very

important that the cable housing is secured. Fasten the cable

housing tightly so there is no slack or movement in the housing.

Slide the inner wire into the cable housing until it is protruding

out both ends. Install the brass hex cable stop into the sensor

arm. Put the compression spring on the inner wire between the

sensor arm and the sensor body. Slide the inner wire through

the cable stop and DO NOT tighten the set screw. The inner wire

needs to run in as straight a line as possible between the sensor

and the sensor body. Make sure the inner wire is on the correct

side of the sensor arm. Photo 4

Step 5: Adjust the angle of the cable mounting bracket so that

the cable does not bind or kink as it goes through its gear

selections. Install the brass cable stop on the other end

of the cable at the trans arm. Slide the inner wire into the

cable stop and tighten the set screw. Photo 5

Step 6: Adjust the cable. (NOTE) It is very important that the cable

housing is secured. Fasten the cable housing tightly so

there is no slack or movement in the housing. Put the trans-

mission in park. Adjust the sensor arm so that the slot in

the shaft and the set screw on the top of the sensor arm are

in line. Push the arm up against the compression spring,

with about 1/8" of tension against the spring. Tighten up

the set screw in the brass cable stop. Trim excess inner

wire leaving about 1" inch on both ends. Shift the trans

from park, one gear at a time, check each gear and make

sure that the arm on the sensor does not hit the stop screws.

The sensor arm does not need to be the same distance from

the stop screws in park as it is in low gear. To get more

clearance loosen up one side of the inner wire at the brass

cable stop and move the arm. After the sensor is operating

properly and no more adjustments need to be made cut the

excess inner wire within 1/2 inch of the brass cable stop.

The sensor can now be programmed.

OPTION II: MOUNTING THE SENSOR ON THE TRANSMISSION WITH

LOKAR AOD, AODE AND 4R70W TRANSMISSION SELECTOR

SHAFT AND ARM

After installing the Lokar AOD, AODE and 4R70W selector shaft

and arm the installation of the cable operated sensor is the same

as Option I. The only difference is there is no adapter to pinch in

between the stock Ford linkage (which is no longer used) and the

Lokar trans arm adapter (which is no longer used).

OPTION III: MOUNTING SENSOR IN A REMOTE LOCATION WITH

LOKAR SHIFTER & LEVER ADAPTER OR WITH LOKAR

AOD, AODE AND 4R70W TRANSMISSION SELECTOR

SHAFT AND ARM USING A REMOTE MOUNTING CABLE
