Inland shifter - 06/04/20 03:56 PM

I'm putting my drivetrain together to install in the car (67 GTX 426). I'm placing the shifter on the trans and it is the sloppiest thing I've ever seen. I have the neutral gate adjusted, shift rods are on and bushed but I seems like the shifter mechanism is missing a spring to hold tension on it between the 1-2 and 3-4 gate. I've never dealt with one of these, always had 68-71 cars with the Hurst mechanisms. Does anybody have a diagram of what hardware is in one of these shifters or any good pictures of what one of these should be? I looked in my 68 service manual and all it shows is the shifter mounted to the trans with the shift rods labled and installed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

And to think Ronnie Sox could make one of those wet-noodle, sloppy Inlands actually work. Unbelievable.

You sure they didn't swap in a Hurst shifter in the Inland years?

Get the set up from Brewers , it will bolt up your original shifter right on it
The reverse lock out will just be for show. I have one on my 68 gtx
It's like night and day.
You could get a hurst in late 68 but not 67.

John, what I was referring to was what I remember as a TV commercial. You had a group of car nuts do quarter mile runs with a new 1967 four-speed GTX. And then Ronnie Sox got behind the wheel and bested the fastest time by more than a second. I seem to remember an interior shot that showed that Inland shifter knob. But that has been decades ago and the memory gets fuzzy. I'm sure that when it came to competition, that Inland shifter was one of the first, if not the first, items to go in the dumpster.

I think it was more getting it off the line than shifting to gain a second

Are you sure you are not referring to the video where Ronnie drives a white 66 Hemi 2 door htp Belvedere.
It has the inland shifter and interior camera shows console tach as well as he goes through the gears.
