Reverse shift problem

Is the Hemi box out of a B body, and the other out of an A body?

The larger shafted trans is out of a '69 Dart, the 'light' version said to be out of a '73 A-body.

Can you get some pics to help us see what your seeing?

If it comes to knowing I already have the shorter lever, I'll give that a shot. My Canon takes close-ups for complete poo (yes..'flower' button pushed)..I'm not sure they would be helpful.


That's a great pic of the linkage parts! Sounds perfectly reasonable to me (that I have the wrong lever).

X2 . You need the short lever!

Anyone have a length on either of those levers?

I wish I remembered (been maybe 12-15 years) exactly where the linkage came from, the 'big' or 'little' trans. I don't.

I thought of redrilling the hole on my existing lever..but I don't think there's enough room for that and still have metal enough left around the new hole.

THANKS for the info!

man that duster looks tough as hell

That's a good thing, right? ;) Then, thanks!


The pic is at that angle for a reason: Last time I was into the engine I had the hood outside leaning against a tree..wind caught it..my 5" Mopar bracket scoop got busted up. I've got a new FG scoop, have yet to get it ON the car.

Been my baby since '75. Ran in the low 12's (12.06 best 1200'el track). I drove it to the track...and drove it home...every race day.
