column shifter linkage problems
Im trying to hook up my shifter linkage rod from the tranny to my column. Im still using a small block in the same location with the same transmission, and it seems like the throttle linkage rod is a few inches too short. Did these rods come in different lengths? What might be the problem?

Re: column shifter linkage problems
Did you remove the steering column? If you did, perhaps it justs needs to be turned a bit clockwise?

Have you got both levers in Park?

Re: column shifter linkage problems
Ok, I have both in park. I have my column lined up correctly b/c the shift indicator thing is right in the middle. I still come up about 3 or 4 inches short. Does anyone have a pic handy to compare to? My v8 is in the v6 position, but it was in this position before I tore it apart and it fit right. If nothing else, can I just weld an extension on the linkage rod?
