i have a 68SS with a new powerglide in it. it appears the bracket on the tranny is for a colum shifter and i have a factory floor shifter. the cable wont take the bend to make it all work. what do i need to fix this correctly?

This is probably not the best answer, but it's an answer to the problem. If you can find a trans FOR floorshift, the selector rod can be removed without removing the trans in your car. Simply removing the pan and the rod

i have the floor shifter, what i need is the part that goes in the transmission.

By selector rod, I mean the part ON THE TRANS that the shifter cable attaches to..it is removable.

ok, where do i get one? and will it be listed as a selector rod? if i get this and a new cable kit is it all i need, or is there going to be more?

no one has an answer??

68SS350something,

I have a floor shifted 69 powerglide. If my memory serves, the cable goes through floor pointing forward and then does a 180 downward to connect to a hole on the bottom part of the trans bracket. The lockout rod is attached there as well.

Exactly how does yours NOT work?

I can try to take a closer look tonight.

Well, memory did not serve http://www.camaros.net/forum/smile.gif The cable does an "S" curve and attaches to a bracket held on by the pan bolts to serve as the fixed point. From there the cable end points towards the front and attaches to the trans selector from inside the "U" in the rearmost hole. The front hole is used for the lockout linkage and the inside the "U" hole is used for the kick down linkage. This is documented in the assembly guide under the M35 chapter.

So, what part of all that mess are you missing?

its the actual part that goes into the tranny. the one the cable end attaches to. the one i have isnt right and i am looking for the correct one.

As for your problem I took a 10/32 screw and bolted it solid in the hole on the arm that is attached to the trans, ( you may need some washer) I slid the cable over the screw, Using two nuts I locked them together with out tightening against the cable, At the shifter you adjust for thr proper length and function,

The proper way is to find a floor shift PG and remove the complete selector shaft from it. The hardest part is finding the part. To replace it, you remove the pan and you'll see what's involved.


-Gary (sorry for not responding sooner)

thats what im running into, trying to find the correct part. so far its impossible. as for the 10-32 screw idea, i might have to do just that until i locate the correct part. any idea's where to find such a rare animal?

They're getting rare because so many guys are using the PG for racing..I had 4 PGs sitting in my shop and some guy walked up out of the blue and bought them all. I wouls start by looking locally..If someone has it farther away, they're most likely not going to have JUST the shaft...Also, did you check Classic Industries? I think they sold a conversion kit. Not sure but they may. One more thing..there is a guy in my area that has all kinds of little Camaro parts. His name is Steve. Give him a call (425) 787-3309.

yeah, seems all those type parts i just missed, or there just arent any. the 10-32 bolt idea sounds like it will work as a "for now" thing. i will keep looking
