auto column woes....

[ramrod7373]

Ok here is my problem...my truck was an original 6 banger and 3 on the tree. It now has a 350 mated to a turbo 350. A guy gave me a auto column and I can't get the stock or Lokar linkage to shift the trans. Don't know if this column is any good or not. Ripped it out and got it a shop for a guy to hopefully fix...new lower bearing. My wife is already on my ass about the $$$ I have spent to get this going. Still lots to do, but I want this thing on the road by Aug. Anybody run into auto column's not working right. I might just say the hell with it and get a floor shifter, but I am really tired of running into snags every time I try to mod something. I need some input PLEASE!! What's the way to go. Is there better shift linkage out there?
