slant 6 cable shift question
From the rear flange on the trans, I would say yes. It would be better to get a side shot of the driver's side of the trans to see for sure.

This is a response to a PM that Vali68 sent me, but I think best to post here to close-the-loop, and I prefer answering technical questions in a post everyone can see:
Hello Bill. I appreciate your reply's to my threads.
I was wondering if you could tell me if this transmission is a link transmission or a cable transmission. I see there are 2 cables on the tranny and also see a place for linkage to hookup.
It came with a slant 6 out of a 70 Dart.
Thanks,
Definitely a cable-shift, by the fwd cable w/ round adjuster. The aft cable is for the park lock. The fixed rear flange mates to a ball & trunnion U-joint on early drive-shafts. There is also a lever input for kick-down above the shift cable, which is the same as later trannys.
Your tranny is for cars up to 1965, with a slant six engine (high starter mount). No idea how it came to be in a 1970 Dart or how they managed to hook it up.
You should close out your other posts on this same topic so you don't leave readers hanging.
