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. 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/
