Becareful of you don't know what your doing. You can really mess your tranny up. But just read your directions, and they will tell you how to set the bolts.</P>

<FONT face=Arial size=2>Now we must set the stop bolts. These bolts are to allow full stick travel. Put it into 2nd gear and hold. Then screw the stop bolt against the shifter stick. Now back it off one turn or .010 gap from the stick. You can use a feeler gauge to check the gap. You don't need to split atoms here, just get it close</FONT></P>


</P>


<FONT face=Arial size=2>Now put it into 1st gear and hold. Gap the bolt the same as the other bolt (.010). Now check all the gear positions, make sure the stop bolts allow full travel of the stick and that the stick does not hit the stop bolts. When you are all set you can tighten the outer lock nuts to secure the bolts in place.</FONT></P>


</P>


Heres how you adjust it</P>
