Building American Quality… With A Lifetime Warranty!

General Installation Notes:

Please read instructions completely before beginning installation. If you have

any questions, please do not hesitate to call.

Before starting installation, set parking brake and scotch vehicle wheels to

avoid accidental movement of the vehicle. Disconnect the negative battery

cable before starting installation.

AOD applications also require the installation of a Lokar Kickdown Kit, available sepa-

rately.

The Lokar column shift linkage is universal, and the stainless steel rod is designed

to be cut-to-fit for individual applications. The kit comes with a 21" long rod, and a

26" long rod is also available.

Refer to Fig. 1, 2 and 3 for the part names.

NOTE: It will be much easier to install the new selector shaft before the transmis-

sion is installed in the vehicle, if possible.

The AOD (non-computer controlled) transmission has a Throttle Valve (T.V.) shaft

that passes through the center of the selector shaft. Parts of these instructions and

some of the photos will refer to the T.V. shaft, a T.V. lever, and a T.V. spring. These

parts are not present in an AODE or 4R70W transmission.

Step 1: Put the shifter and the selector shaft on the transmission into the park

position. Remove any existing linkage from the selector shaft and from the

steering column.

Step 2: AOD Only: Remove the nut and T.V. lever from the T.V. shaft in the center

of the selector shaft.

AODE and 4R70W Only: Remove the bolt or nut from the center of the

selector shaft, and remove the original trans arm. NOTE: If the new Lokar

flange fits on your existing selector shaft, it is not necessary to replace the

existing selector shaft. If you are only installing the Lokar Selector Shaft

Flange and Arm and are not replacing the selector shaft, skip to Step 13.

Step 3: Drain the transmission fluid and remove the transmission pan and filter.

Step 4: Remove the 1/8" diameter roll pin that is located just inside the pan rail on

the boss that the selector shaft slides through. The pin protrudes about 1/8"

beyond the boss. Use a pair of side cutters to grab the roll pin and pry the

pin out using the case as your leverage point. Fig. 4

Step 5: Remove the roller spring that holds the gear selector plate in each gear

position. Fig. 5

Step 6: AOD Only: There is a small spring that keeps tension on the T.V. shaft.

Make sure to pay attention to how this spring is positioned, because it will

likely slip out of place during this step.
