When I turn my steering wheel, my column shifter is moving and sometimes even shifting to the next gear. It doesn't seem to be interference that I can see in the engine compartment. Has anyone ever experienced this?

73 A-body, 727 auto
Any ideas on what the heck I have done wrong??

Did you have the column apart? It sounds like something is binding inside it.

I haven't taken it apart yet. I haven't been in one, and was hoping someone had run into this before.

I'd check for dirt/wear in the engine compartment end of the tube.
