Hey all,

I'm here in the SF Bay Area and my girlfriend just surrendered her 66 Barracuda to me. She bought a Bug, Easier and cheaper for her to work on.

She had the 3 speed pulled and overhauled. What i need now is to get the linkage back together correctly. I want to remove as much of the "slop" as possible out of the column shifting. (until i get it converted to floor shift.)

I either need advice or a referral to a Mopar competent trans shop.

Thanks,
Steve

What transmission is it? I have the "five feet deep" factory Plymouth service manual, I could get you all the info you need.

There is not much to those.
Shim the linkage connection points so everything is tight and look for the adjuster at the base of the column. There are 3/8 hex head bolts in slanted slots. Loosen the bolts and rotate the adjustment sleeve to tighten up the column bushing.

Ya know I did find those but it appears that it's already been done. (the bushing is rotated as far as it can go). Is this a rebuildable area of the column? if so does anyone make a "kit"?

I am ordering the grommets and bushings for the rod to trans brackets today.

I'm hoping ot be able to bring her up to the Slant Six meet Sunday.

Steve
