Change out shift lever
I have a 72 C-10 automatic with adjustable steering wheel. I want to change the shift lever as the old one is really funky. Would someone give me some instructions on the how to's.
Thanks, Bill

Pull the rubber bootie back, if it has one. Drive the roll pin out the top and pull lever out.

Re: Change out shift lever
Super easy. As Russ said, just drive the pin out from the bottom. GMCPauls sells new levers for about $40.
There's a spring in the column that interfaces with the back of the bottom end of the lever. When you go to install the new lever, you're just going to have to remember to engage that spring and push it back towards the dash a little to get the lever tip engaged with the shift detents, and to get the pin holes to line up.

Re: Change out shift lever
don't lose the old pin. I bought a set of new ones at the auto parts and none of them were the right size.

Re: Change out shift lever
Thank all of you for the help. This is a great organization, and what can I do as a member to help advance it or make sure it's stays around and healthy.
