Shift rod, turbo 400
I need the shift rod for my 1968, 396 BB & Turbo 400
I cant find mine, and I dont remember what it looks like, If you have one to sale I'll take it or if you can post a pic of one that may help also |

Re: Shift rod, turbo 400
confirm with someone else because I just got up from a nap to sleep off a migrane....
...but I think the shift rod itself is the same as any other auto......it's just the piece that mounts to the frame is smaller (a tighter U-shape) than the TH350 one...

Re: Shift rod, turbo 400
I reused my th 350 one?? I guess since I reused all the parts..but when you say shift rod do you mean from the column or the U part??
gotta love not having wheel wells...lol..hope this helps

Re: Shift rod, turbo 400
I thought that was right
And I think the only reason for the small bracket is with a big block the angle would be bad....probably would have interference with running inner fenders...but you wouldn't need anything different if running a small block with a th400 (for others reference I realize you have the 396).... ..the other option is getting a cpp or Lokar shift linkage. Gives a more positive shift feel....

But that frame bracket wouldn't work with his big block and th400... the rest of the linkage should...

Re: Shift rod, turbo 400
The original turbo 400 rod is different, has a bend in it and I think its a little longer. Th350 will work though.

Re: Shift rod, turbo 400
Here are a couple of side by side linkage comparison pics that I have been posting for years, first pic shows both of the 2wd w/TH auto setups and the second picture shows the 4wd auto setup next to the 2wd small block w/TH trans setup. Mel

Re: Shift rod, turbo 400
Tom I just need the rod, the little slide nut at the top of the rod that hooks to the steering column.
