Re: Steering Column assistance needed

The nut on the shifter rod pivot needs to be snugged up pretty good so the rod doesn't slip but don't twist it off. Put the shifter in Park, the trans in Park and tighten it up. The TH400 rods are straight and the TH350 rods have a bend in them. LockDoc

Re: Steering Column assistance needed
The spring is there... it's just hard to see in that pic.
Good to know about the nut. It was considerably more loose than your recommendation and it still held the shifting rod but I have tightened it up snug. I have a TH350 so that explains the bend. You are full of useful information! I just joined 67-72chevy forum yesterday and I'm loving it. One problem posed, one problem solved. Two questions posed, two question solved and last but not least, one problem I didn't know I had, one problem I didn't know I had now solved.... all in the same thread. Nice. Thanks again. |

Re: Steering Column assistance needed
Subscribed because there's some great info in this thread and my column has a little back and forth play (forward and back) that I would one day like to resolve.

Re: Steering Column assistance needed
I just got my lower bearing kit last night and installed it today. Very simple. All I had to do was lower the steering box and disconnect the shaft. I cleaned up all of the nuts, bolts, installed the bearing, retainer and spring, then preloaded it and put the box back on. No more grindey grind. If anyone needs Pics, let me know.
