Hello, I am working on a customers car and I have installed an A-518 into a 72 Duster. The customer is wanting the over drive switch mounted on to the factory floor shifter handle. I haven't been able to find a switch...can anyone help?
Thanks

How about a line lock switch?

They have line lock switches that are not momentary switches?

Well, isn't a line lock switch a momentary type switch? I need to be able to turn on the overdrive and also turn it off.

There are some push button micro switches that will work great. I'm sure Mc Master Car or others will have them.

If you need to you can use a relay if necessary.

I agree with your customer it is great to have it in the shifter.

Good luck

I believe line lock is an on off switch. Trans brake would be a momentary switch

all the ones I used have been momentary

Yes, that is what I have found is most of the line lock switches were momentary.

You can find the right micro switch and completely hide it in the shift handle. Plus I rigged an LED so when it was in overdrive it lit up.

It was nice to know, however that was a stick.

If he is going to have overdrive in "D" then a light would be nice. If you want to get fancy hide and mount the switch so when he pushes the shifter button it goes into overdrive, Then mount a very small green led in the instrument panel and use a panel light power take off so it dims with the instrument panel lights.

It would take just a little extra effort but he'd be a happy camper.

I used a headlight dimmer switch high up on the floor board to control my Gearvendors

I just used a momentary toggle switch available at any parts store. All the switch does is break the circuit.So it has to be spring loaded.

You will have to research this unless someone else knows but I believe the housing can be taken apart.



Inside if I remember correctly is a typical micro switch.


You can replace the momentary switch with a on off switch if available from a electrical supply co.

It's not hard to make a momentary switch operate a relay of solid state circuit to do what you want.......

I don't think he is looking for anything fancy, but I will ask. I think all he wanted was a simple switch that would be small and mount onto his factory automatic floor shifter.

If you want a push button switch you need a "push on-push off" type switch, try your local Radio Shack:

Yea, a push on and push off would be like the factory type of switch they used in the trucks.
I got one off a truck but they are way to big so the radio shack one may work..
