Yeah I've got the factory manual. If you try to do it the way it says I can't do or see how it's possible to get everything connected and disconnected through the small park cover allen head screw. You have no idea if you're touching the lock spring or not so you may as well unbolt the cover to...

Yeah I knew all that in the link provided. Your suppose to remove the allen head screw on the cover and stick a screw driver in to release that spring but the problem is since you can't tell what your hitting with the screw driver you don't know if it's in or not. It might even be easier to...

I finally tackled the parking lock cable leak on my 1965 Valiant 170/Column Shift 904. Apparently the reason why the factory procedure didn't work for removing the cable was because there was nothing ever hooked up inside the parking lock cover. I had to remove the cover to see how to get the...

Among other things I'm going to attempt to tackle this 65 Valiant transmission leak I have tomorrow. I've narrowed it down to the parking cable cover and possibly the parking cable o-ring. As well as the pan gasket. The pan gasket is straightforward. I have the factory 65 Plymouth service manual...

Yes I just noticed on EBAY Pat Blais has all the seals I didn't even know this thing had. I looked again and it appears that most if not all the fluid is concentrated in the parking cable area. I see fluid on the inspection screw for the park cable release hole. The allen head screw. I put a new...

This one doesn't have a shifter shaft seal. The shifter is a cable that screws into the side of the transmission which I checked today and it appears to be clean and dry. However it has a separate cable just for parking at the back and that's where I see all the fluid. It was such a pain to...

I've got this 65 Valiant slant six with a torqueflite that leaks just sitting. It's only driven occassionally because of this leak and not far. It has those annoying shift cables. It's the column mounted shifter. Within the last year I've changed filter, pan gasket, removed and reinstalled shift...

I've got this 170 slant six with a 904 cable controlled automatic in my 65 Valiant. It's automatic column shift with the cables. One for parking and one for the gears. I've had to do adjustments to the cables to get everything shifting right. I also had to install the parking lock spring inside...

Over a period of a week or two sitting outside my 65 Valiant will lose about a quart of transmission fluid. The only thing I've done to the transmission since I've had the car for about 6 years is change the filter and adjust the parking and shift cable. It still shifts normal when it's full of...

I changed out the fluid in my rear axle many months ago. I took the cover off and had someone with the tool get the plug out. I actually found an NOS filler plug so I bought it and am keeping it until I finish everything else. In the meantime while I was waiting for the NOS plug to arrive I...

Yeah I got the plug taken out from a shop that didn't charge me. But they said I need to get a new plug. The only problem where can I get a new plug at? None of the local hardware stores have a 7/8-18" pipe plug or anything like it. Probably if I get a used one it will have been rounded out too...

I'm changing the fluid out in the differential of my 65 Valiant while I'm working on some other things under the car. The fluid was nasty but not the worse I've seen, no telling how long it's been in there. I just removed the whole cover because I couldn't tell what I needed to get the fill plug...

I installed the park cable today because I finally had time off. The hardest part was getting it through the steering column gearbox. I tried it the way zijmer posted and it didn't work out quite that way but close to it. I had it halfway between Park and Reverse on the selector and I moved the...

Ok thats the next hard step. I can get under enough to slide the cable in but it's outside at a house with a dirt driveway so kinda hard to jack it up. I will have to wait until a friend can help me out one day. I'll try that last post out and see what happens.

Yeah where the cable mounts to the steering column there's a boot. That wasn't a big deal to get around. I had the whole steering column out for a reseal and repaint so everything came off. I followed the 65 service manual instructions for reassembly and it went together fairly simple. What I'm...

Yeah I'm able to get it out. I've got the old one out and ready to install the new parking cable. Since I broke the old one I have to reinstall it on the steering column gearbox too. Should I connect to the steering column first or the transmission? The problem is because the cable goes through...

I got a replacement used parking cable to replace my broken one on my 65 Valiant 170 with 904 columnd shift transmission. It wasn't going into park and on top of that I didn't have a parking brake that worked. So I need to get the parking cable working. I cannot figure out the science of the way...

It's very confusing following the 65 Plymouth service manual. There isn't really an adjustment procedure for the Parking cable just the Shifter Cable. Even that's hard to adjust by the procedure. I'm looking at the spring that wraps around the Parking pawl and if it's that hard to move the pawl...

On this 65 Valiant Slant Six column shift automatic the Park cable is broken, but I think it broke because I pulled on it too hard because it wasn't holding in Park. So I've got the park cable housing off to see what was going on and wanted to check if the Park pawl even works. Should I be able...

I'm currently rebuilding the steering column on my 65 4DR Valiant. It's an automatic on the column so it has the shifter and park cable made into the bottom of the column. I've disassembled the cables and I forgot to bag and label the lug and spring at the end of the park cable where it pushes...

So if I remove the pan will it make it easier to remove the shift cable or just easier to see what I'm doing? Of the two cables I think the one I messed up was the shift cable. Is there a source for them anywhere besides Year One where they cost $325? Now that I've messed this up all for trying...

I was changing the gaskets on the steering column and I had to disconnect the shift cable and park cable at the transmission. I've got the original 65 Plymouth Valiant repair manual from Chrysler and I thought it would help. It wasn't as easy as it appeared. On the shift cable I took the...
