Is that one of those experimental 6 speed transmissions in the car?

I’m told it’s the 3 speed. I don’t know about the mounting position, but I have seen the shifter style before. I believe it’s a Toad only version designed to clear the bench seat.

The shifter will stay! Whether we use a 4…5…6 speed or an automatic, we’ll fabricate it to work. :wink:

Isn't that shifter called the Twisted Snake or some such thing? I think it's a 1 year only thing. :oops:

I found some information on Curbside Classics that indicate the shifter was in 60-61 Valiants.

Car Model:
The "charmed snake shifter" was available for '60-'61 Models only.

Some additional documentation

It appears that all of the 3-speed transmissions for '62 were column shift only, again one of the many subtle changes that were implemented for the 1962 model year.

I do not believe the hump would have been implemented until 1964 - because the 3 speeds before that did not have a need for the shifter and rod arrangement like the a833 does.

The Charmed Snake Shifter comes with a unique Transmission cross member that mounts the simple shifter to the crossmember itself, then the rods run to the 3 speed levers from there.

The shifter comes right through the floor pan from the cross member. It's quite a different setup than the typical '64 and later floor-shifted A bodies that we are used to.

I doubt Dan will answer the courtesy phone in this section of the forum, but he does know a lot of these sorts of things.

It’s a little further gone than the first ToadRacer, but I think it will work.

I’ll get up under it and check the rust when I get it home.
