67 Dart 270, 225 slant six
It’s a column shift automatic. Why won’t it work?I missed that... The '65 trans is cable shifted and not what you want for your '67.

No buttons on this 65 Newport...unless he wants to buy some buttons!

Explain please.That C body 727 isn't right for your A body.
For one thing, B and C body Torqueflites are longer than A body ones. Second, the 65's were cable shifted and not linkage shifted. The difference is inside of the transmission and I don't believe they can be modified to work.It’s a column shift automatic. Why won’t it work?

Roy (@SGBARRACUDA) usually has some sure grip stuff and he's in the Tampa area too. Normally. Right now, he's in Alabama on a huntin trip, so he may or may not respond. I hope he gets a bigun. lolNot taken as a smart *** answer at all. I’m always looking for honest opinions when I ask questions! Next question is where to get the sure grip bits?
Looks like there is/was a conversion kit available from here….For one thing, B and C body Torqueflites are longer than A body ones. Second, the 65's were cable shifted and not linkage shifted. The difference is inside of the transmission and I don't believe they can be modified to work.
Look at the '65 and you'll see 2 cables. One is for park and one is for shifting gears. The cable goes up to the steering column shifter.It’s a column shift automatic. Why won’t it work?
I gotcha. I’ll give AA Trans a call and see what that conversion kit is about. Couple posts on the B-Body forum regarding using it. That doesn’t help with tranny size diff of course.Look at the '65 and you'll see 2 cables. One is for park and one is for shifting gears. The cable goes up to the steering column shifter.
On the '67, shifting is done by mechanical linkage.
The two aren't compactable in the least.
Yea, I suppose you could find the proper shifter (like the push buttons or a floor shifter from a '65 car) but the easiest and best way is to find the right trans and use the existing shifter. You don't want to screw around with the cable... Adjusting it is not a lot of fun and if you have to replace the cables, they aren't cheap.
That's for "kickdown" linkage.
Well heck, ifI would sell that transmission to someone that could use it and get the right one for your car.
Make sure you get the right one. Is your car a stick now? If not there's a lot of parts to install and everything needs to be close to perfect. May be some welding and fabrication.Well heck, if
this Tranny won’t work I’m thinking I may as well go for an A833.
