There is plastic shear pins in there. When we converted my 68 Coronet to a manual gearbox years ago my friend Tugboat took a sledge and we beat that thing until we shared the pins to adjust the length of the column to make it work with the new gearbox.. Shady... but I was 20 something years old really didn't care, errr THINK, too much! We also did a dual front discs Conversion at the same time. Man I still miss Her!! SHE WAS BAD!
I was reading about the sheer pins in the shop manual last night. And also found a Mopar tech video about them on YT. Early car safety features. Early tech training via film strip, complete with the “ding” to advance to the next frame.
