I have a little disagreement with another member (who will be unnamed). He says the last year for pushbutton transmissions was 64, and I say 65. Who is correct? :boxing: ain10: :argue:
64 but the same trans was used for 65 with the column and floor cable shift.
1964
1964 was the last year for pushbutton as well as ball and trunnion driveshafts. The '65 transmission used the same cable setup as the '64 transmission and used slip yoke shaft.

More trivia. Why doesn't the front pump work in park, only in neutral?
Because when Mopar went from push button, they kept the same valve body, doing the cheap. That's why the pump still won't operate in park. got a high stall? get everything warmed up in neutral.

So to sum this up, Ma Mopar used the pushbutton control on the dash the last yr in 64? Seein how they weren't gona throw away the 64 trannys they used em in the 65 models with another idea on the shifting mechanism other than the dash mounted push button?
Small Block
Even then they couldn't figure out what D or R meant!!!
My dad makes jokes about that all the time. "Put er' in "R", for Race, and put the throttle to the floor"
IIRC, the main reason Chrysler discontinued the push buttons in '64, was because of federal pressure, and please correct me if I'm wrong.
