OK, this is the last thing keeping me from being able to drive the darn car!!

Does ANYBODY repop or sell complete column shift linkages? What I have doesn't seem to work together; I tried two different transmission control levers but neither line up properly.

I'd like to get everything from the steering column lever to the tranny; front rod, torque shaft, rear rod and transmission control lever......that way I KNOW that it all goes together.

...so frustrating!!


Thanks guys,

Dave

Dave,
Do you know if the stuff is the same between small block versus big block?

There is a 1970 satellite in a junkyard near me and I think it still has eveything in it, but I think it's a 318 car

I'll get down there this weekend and look around,

Thanks Bill, but no, I don't know if it's the same.
A buddy had a box full of the various bits and pces and we thought we pieced together a set that worked so I had it all replated etc. only to find that once I went to hook it all up the rear rod was too short (or the tranny control lever was wrong or ....).

I was pretty sure that nobody repops the stuff (but they do with the kickdown linkage! )

Maybe I need to find somebody with a factory big block column shift car that is changing to a 4spd or something and get the whole kit and kaboodle from him.

Sounds like your best bet is to scavange the whole thing off a parts car that you know hasn't been monkeyed with.

Try putting up a wanted ad in the b-body section on here????

L&L Classic Auto in Wendel Idaho would probably have it, but they can get kinda spendy. Figure on paying top dollar ebay like prices if what your looking for is anything remotely rare.

Wildcat in Oregon would be another place to look.
DVAP in Arizona too.

Thanks

Getting the whole thing off a parts car would be great, but to make sure it is right it'd have to be a BB 727 car which makes it hard to find.

I'll try the Ad, but honestly I don't have too much time to screw around with this. I'll try the link you posted; at this point, I don't much care how much it costs.

Sure; rub it in!! Hey, you have too many '70 Dodges anyways; you can't drive them all at once, right?

I can only actually drive one as it is...er...not after tearing the dash apart last weekend though...the good news is that the A/C will be working here in the near future.
