Is there somewhere to buy a new shifter cable for a push button trans? The car is a 1963 Fury. The cable I need is the "shifter" cable, roughly 48" long. My park cable is ok.

Give these guys a try.

FWIW. This is really old news but I bought an Imperial cable 10 years ago for my 63 Dodge. At that time it was not as stiff as the stock cable and would not select the positions properly. I returned it and fixed the stock cable. I would think they have fixed that problem by now though.

Be very careful dealing with Imperial Services. It took me six months and a threat of internet fraud to get my cable. Maybe things have gotten better but I know others have had problems. When I finally got my cable it was a very high quality piece. Maybe you should call first.

Would a cable from a 63 Dodge be the same? I may have one I just removed and I'll measure it.

I ordered a speedometer ratio adapter from Imperial Services at the end of August. I originally called, and Steve Charette answered the phone. Was told around six week turn around, and every time I call ANY of his numbers, always have to leave message and never have had contact since. No return calls or email. I will be looking at legal options very soon, yes, be careful!

If an internet company advertises, takes orders and collects money but does not deliver the goods or communicate I believe that's considered internet fraud by the FBI. Here's where you can file a report:

I'm assuming they would be the same. If it measures close to 48" I'd be very interested in buying it from you.

All the 62/64 b-body push button cables are within an inch,any will work.

B-body PB shift cables vary from 42-48". 48" would be correct for a BB B-body.

Is it broken or just leaking? The leaking ones can be sealed with heat shrink tubing with the glue in it. I have a few running around like this. I have the tubing if you need it.

Thank you!

The shrink sleeving with the glue is the hot set up for leaks. After cleaning, I used Scotch 23, the self-vulcanizing tape, covered with Scotch 33 then then liquid electric tape. Same application I use on outside radio antenna connectors.

I have 2 of them. The one I know is from my 64 Dodge measures 42" long and the sheath covering is 38" long. I have another one that measures 46" long and the sheath covering is 42" long. The one with the red on the grommet is from the 64 Dodge.

Rather than concentrating on the cable leak one should go to the source of the leak. The early speedo pinions have a rubber seal inside them that rarely gets changed because, unlike the later units, the pinion stays with the cable when the trans is removed and never gets the seal replaced. The seal prevents fluid from entering the cable housing.

Mine is missing, thanks for everyone's help so far! It does sound like 48" would be the correct cable for the car.

Thanks, Forest

I agree evan thou I was cool with steve I got a pushbutton conversion it took several years to get it after I prepaid and its sitting on the shelf right now never used it
