This thing is driving me nuts. The trans is professionally rebuilt (‘76 Volare), originally a floor shifter and the shifting mechanisms are all new.
I put it in Park, shove the lever on the trans all the way back to Park position and tighten the linkage rod. Park works fine, move lever to Reverse - it’s still in Park. Move lever into Neutral and it goes into Reverse. You can the partially select Reverse and it stays in Reverse. Neutral is Drive, push it back a little over half way back, it’s finally in Neutral.
It will only start in Park and in trans (not shifter indicator) Neutral.
Does the Volare 904 require different floor shifter mechanisms, is my problem a product of the trans rooster combo, or is there some new linkage adjusting method I have not discovered? Putting everything in Park and tightening it down is not working.
Got a better method to adjust linkage? Do I need a Volare linkage?
Thanks in advance.
