It was pretty simple, nut I have a question I can count 6 clicks from park. Drive,rev,nuetr,2,1,?. (Maybe low then 1 or 2 or something). My question is that my colmn. shift has only park,rev, nuetr,drive,2 & 1. It has only 5 gears besides park not six. Is this an issue? I don't have the drive shaft in yet. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 1,596 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 1,596 | If it's a 4L60E it's a 4-speed, so you'll have P,R,N,OD,D,2,1. There are no issue with your column only having the 6 total positions, as long as it stays in the gear you put it in. I have 2 vehicles that have transmissions with a different number of gears than the steering column originally had, and they work just fine. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | be sure to check the trans arm end compared to the shifter end and make sure the linkage is adjusted correctly from the park position and your neutral safety switch works as per Lokars instructions ... if it's an "E" what are you using for the computer? what column shift?

Any suggestions on the harness? be sure to check the trans arm end compared to the shifter end and make sure the linkage is adjusted correctly from the park position and your neutral safety switch works as per Lokars instructions ... if it's an "E" what are you using for the computer? what column shift?
