When I got my Turbo T Limited, it had a complete interior (buckets, console, floor shift) from a Monte Carlo SS installed. Also in the deal, I got the entire stock interior too, which I have reinstalled.
I'm not sure the shift linkage is correct, as I can't access all of the gears. No matter how I adjust it, I can either get 2nd thru park, or 1st thru reverse, but not all of the gears no matter how things are adjusted. I don't know which part(s) are incorrect. Can someone post up a few pics from underneath looking up at the linkage please? I will post up pics in a bit, but it looks to me that the pivot for the cross shaft needs to be lengthened towards the rear of the car.
I started the adjustment process by setting the adjuster setscrew in the old witness mark on the shaft. I have moved it to both sides of there with the abovementioned results.
The shift lever has more travel than the linkage allows, and nothing is stopping the movement of the "downrod." The cross rod seems to be at an awkward angle from where I think it should be, but it's pivot locator is old, wasn't removed, and has about the same "patina" as other surroundings, but that doesn't mean it is correct. I am not the first owner of this car so, who knows?
I think that the "saddle yoke" on the trans is wrong.
Any help guys?
Pics in an hour or so when I put it back up on the lift.
THANKS!
