Tilt vs. regular column question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I noticed that on my non tilt column that there are notches and bumps at the end of the column. I assume that these provide the positive stops for the different gears.

The tilt has no such device and no provision (holes) for it. What serves this function on the tilt?

Yep--the tilt column relies on the transmission internal detents for the shift points.

On tilt columns the detents are on inner tilt housing used with the end of shift lever.
