HI,
I'm new to Mopars and am having lots of fun with a 62 Valiant,
(added bucket seats, Super Six set up and electronic ignition).
And out of the blue, I pushed the reverse button in and it won't come back up. What's that all about?

Thanks,
Mike

Post subject:  push button

hopefully the plastic lever just came out of the prongs that hold it into the switch selector--Take the dash cover off & use a light source to check & see exactly what happened.. if nothing is broke just line it back up & push it back in place---


you might want to squeeze the prongs together just a little to help hold them-- (if they do not hole the lever tight)
Good luck

Post subject:  weak spring

On my daughter's 61 it was a broken spring in the push button box.
It was part of the mechanism that was supposed to put the R button back to the front when N was pushed. I bought a 63 dart button box and used the spring from it as much of the innards were the same.

I would guess that a hard to move (dirty or kinked) shift cable might also have the same affect.

Everyone was right, the reverse button slipped out of the connector. I remated the two and it works fine again.

THANKS
