transmission ?
what does the part look like that connects to the steering column? mine has a green wire. i'm not sure this is how the factory would do it. if you look just above the breather on the driver side of the engine you can see a little green wire. i think this is why it won't go into park.what would that piece be called? or look like? it has a floor shifter, but it was a column shifter from factory.
in the 2nd pic its below the master cylinder, rt by the rear exhaust port hard to see but can't post bigger pictures. |

Re: transmission ?
I recognize that as a 3spd manual column shift linkage; sm318 tranny

Re: transmission ?
I have no idea where that green wire goes.....three's really no need for it since you have an auto trans instead of a manual. You say you have a floor shifter.....I would look there, it could be out of adjustment. Is it cable operated or mechanical linkage?

Re: transmission ?
It won't go into park? Wow. It's amazing me how careless some people can be. What is the other end of the wire tied to?

Re: transmission ?

Re: transmission ?
that's the speedometer cable underneath... the shredded boot to the left was for the old clutch pedal rod. Is it a rigged up kick-down for the a/t?

Re: transmission ?
IS it spliced into it?? It looks like its just tied into a knot like to hold it up or something rigged.

Re: transmission ?
I have no idea what that wire is there for? Unless that piece of linkage is still connected somewhere to the tranny?

Re: transmission ?
so that looks like a 3 speed standard column.
I bet they have that shif lever wired down to engage the neutral safety switch, so you can start the truck. thats the only reason I can think of why they would want to keep the original disconnected column shift in place. |
