My 65 Barracuda (with what I think is a 904 transmission) has some form of slap stick shifter in it. The question is how do I find reverse, neutral and park. By messing with it a lot I have first, push forward second, push forward and third. Downshift process, pull back real hard, bang second, pull back real hard again, first. I think I found reverse once by pushing down on the shifter and pulling back. Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks
Gary
 
Factory shifter or aftermarket? Post a picture of it.
 
That sounds like some sort of ratchet shifter or "ratshit" as Inkjunkie would say.:D

I pull up on the shifter and forward to get over the lockout and into reverse.
 
How are we supposed to know what kinda shifter you have?
 
Ok, took several pictures standing on my head, in the storage area. This is the only one that was focused. Says Hurst on the shifter handle.

That's a Hurst Promatic 2, commonly referred to as a ratchet shifter.

You have to pull up on the handle to get past the lock out gate.
 
Go to the elHursto website. They have the destructions Be sure to read the specific section on Mopars

Operational instructions are the last few pages

That's a good link.

Up and back for reverse. Back and down for "D".
