| Post subject: | Shifter question. |
This is a bit too long to explain in the subject header, so here goes: I have a 1965 Plym Valiant. It had an older 904 pushbutton style transmission, with the column shifter. A couple years ago, we yanked the trans, dropped in a 71 dart 904 trans, and moved the shifter to the floor, actuated with a shift cable and a cable stop mounted on the trans. Now I'm entertaining the thought of putting the column shifter back in (so I can put the bench seat back in) - does anyone know if there's a way to adapt the old shifter to the newer transmission? Can I shift by a single cable with the column shifter? Any workarounds anyone else has tried? |

Use a 1966 column & linkage set-up. (66 was the first year for the mechanical shift linkage) DD |

thanks doc =) anyone know of any workarounds short of getting another column? if i can't fab something up, then i'll resort to getting another column off ebay. it's just that parts for valiants are hard to come by here. |

You might be able to use the 65 columm shifter with the late trans, but you would have to fab up a cable and brackets. Lever ratios could become a problem, they have to be correct. I really think Docs suggestion is the best. |
