gear shift decoder. gear shift sensor.
The Dakota Digital universal gear shift sender consists of 3 main components,
these are the sensor, decoder, and mounting brackets. The sender mounts to the
transmission and converts the transmission linkage arm position into an electrical
signal. The decoder converts the electric signal from the sender into the individual
outputs for each gear and provides the neutral safety and backup features. This unit
can also support single-wire indicators from Dakota Digital, Inc. These style indicators
have only one wire that sends the digital gear position information to the display. The
mounting brackets attach the sensor to the transmission housing and linkage arm.
The only parts of the gear shift sender that are different for the different
transmissions are the mounting brackets. The GM 350, 400, and 700-R4 use the same
linkage connector and mounting plate, but different holes in the mounting plate. The
Ford C-6 and C-4 each have different mounting plates and linkage connectors.
For other transmissions, a universal mounting plate is provided. This plate has
several mounting holes for the sensor, but no holes for mounting the plate to the
transmission. To use this plate, first determine the best mounting location on your
transmission and then mark and drill holes into the universal plate to secure it. In most
instances the entire length of the plate will not be needed and it can be cut down using
a hack saw or metal shears.
The arm which is mounted on the sender allows for a 1 3/4” throw with the
outside hole and 1 5/16” throw with the inside hole. The longer arm which is sent in the
kit allows for throws from 3 1/2” with the outside hole to 2 3/16” with the inside hole.
The sensor does not have to use all of the travel available to work. It does not matter
what part of the travel the sensor uses.
