Hey all,

I have a 1972 C10 with a 350 and 3 spd automatic. I cannot shift below drive unless the engine is off and I'm not moving.

Where can I find literature on how to adjust my transmission linkage? I'm assuming that's all I need to do?

Thanks Paul. Looks like some good stuff there, and I will bookmark that one.

Trouble is, mine is an automatic tranny, and I didn't find anything to help me.
