TH350 to a 700R4 linkage problem.

[veinbar]

Hey everyone,

I have recently replaced my TH350 with a 700R4. I made all of the necessary installation changes to get the new tranny to mate up properly. My only problem now is that the column linkage doesn't work properly.

For Example:
Far Left = Reverse (cannot be put into park)
Once to the Right = Drive w/ OD (skips neutral due to forcing out of reverse)

My resolution has been to put the van in neutral, and use my parking break. This is a very temporary fix, or so I hope. What do I do?

My setup is in a 1976 Chevy G10 Van, but the application is identical to the trucks of this era.

I'm all ears. I have only heard rumors from friends where they tell me that I will need to replace my steering column. That's not cool.

Thank you for your help.
