3. Remove right side, lower the hex-head cap screw
and washer from the shifter handle. (See Figure 2).

gear position detent plate. This allows access to

provided eye bracket over the back end of the cable
pin. (See Figure 2)

5. Use trigger to move stick back into neutral position and refasten lower hex head cap screw and
washer. The eye bracket should be located between the stick and gear position detent plate.
NOTE: Eye Bracket must rotate freely.

6. Position bottom pinholes of the switch housing assembly to align with front pin holes on the base of
shifter. With a ring clip on one end, position the groove pin through the pin holes in the shifter base
and switch the housing assembly. When the groove pin is properly positioned, install the remaining
clip on the other end of the groove pin.
NOTE: When using Hurst Quick-Release floor plate and/or aluminum cover, substitute one quick-
release pin for groove pin and clips.

7. The slide cam of the switch requires adjustment to function properly. Verify the stick and
transmission are in neutral position. To adjust the slide cam, loosen cam to bracket securing screw.
Advance or hold back slide cam as required to either side of the middle position. Retighten securing
screw. Switch should only allow engine starting when shifter is in neutral or park positions.
Check switch/shifter several times for proper operation.
NOTE: Install with “A” side of slide cam facing up for all front-mounted shifters. Side “B” should face
up for all rear-mounted cable shifters. Side identifications are molded into faces of slide cam.

8. Installation is now complete. Check switch/shifter for proper operation before each use. Securely
tighten all fasteners.
