Help - Adjusting ‘67 904 console floor shifter

Put another 6 hrs trying to get the console automatic shifter and the 904 trans to work in harmony. Takes time doing it all by myself.

Got a tape measure with a more flexible tape so I could try to get better measurements. I disconnected the shifter linkage and measured distance between the linkages, hole to hole. I’m certain that I made some minor measurement errors.

Distance between the holes was a consistent 9.25”, throughout all gears. I measured from the trans X-member to the lever holes - maintained the 9.25” separation.

Based on all of this, I have concluded the levers are spaced right and the shift rod should adjust it. So, I put the trans in N (turned over engine to make sure), then put the shifter in N and attached the shifter rod.

Put the shifter in P, did not shift into P, would not turn over. Had to go to N to get R and close to D to get it to turn over.

Since that failed, I tried setting it up in P and later in 1. No luck.

I am pulling the console tomorrow and double checking it all up there, then work my way down again.

Any 904 experts here? Can it be something in the rebuilt trans causing me fits?

Dana67Dart… this may not be rocket science, but I’m starting to believe it’s quantum physics.:-)

Thanks.
