Anyone Know Pushbutton Trannies? - 09/23/12 04:20 AM
I put a 64 push button trans in a street rod and I have been trying to work out the bugs before I drive it. I have the car on jack stands and when I start it with the push button in neutral I can not get it to "center out"(my word) in neutral. I took the pan off and set the cable linkage to be perfectly in neutral on the neutral start switch. When I start the car it either turns the wheels in forward or I can change the adjusting wheel just one bolt hole and then it will run in reverse. There seems to be no true neutral. The spin is not much and I can stop it by dragging my hand on the tire with some pressure. It probably would not move the car setting on the ground but does this mean I have a leaking/ warped valve body or dragging in two gears? The trans was completely rebuilt by a experienced friend but it came out of a abused dead demo derby car. I originally tried the factory adjustment and that just does not work at all. I have not read about anyone having any luck setting them with the factory procedure.
