Anybody Have Pics Of There Locar Auto Shifter,i Need Pics Of Where Its Mounted In Cab,pic Under Bronc Where Its Mounted To Tranny,also Any Input On Install For A Heads Up,and What Size And Model.
Sorry I have no pic's. Mine with the AOD was a pain to get right... Many calls to Lokar asking for guidance. The Tech, I think his name was Denver, tried to be helpful, but he did not have an AOD with a A/adapter and a dana 20 with a twin stick bolted to it on his bench.
I had to mount the shifter in almost the last set of holes on the mounting plate. After about a weeks worth of messing with the linkage I got it figured out. I had to extend the Lokar shifter arm (pointing down) by 3 inches. Their bracket, that attached to the trans shifter arm, was kicked forward. I had to fab up mine so that it was straight.(basically extending the factory arm by about 1 1/2 inches. I probably spent more time pondering this problem than anything else that I have done. In 2500 miles I have had no problems...
I had to put on a 2 inch body lift for clearance. I have a removable cover plate on the trans hump and I used a trans boot and retaining ring from a 77 landcruiser. The Lokar shifter was 16 inches long. It came out very clean...
