Where did I put my shift indicator...

[CultClassik]

Yeah, that's right. There isn't one. 67 Dart, column shift, anybody have pics? The only thing other than regular maintenance done to this car was a (probably dealer) install of a trailer hitch. I really don't know what could have happened to it. I thought it would be obvious once I got the steering wheel off, but it's not...I don't see a pointer or anyplace one would go.

What am I missing here?!

 

[CultClassik]

Nobody?

A picture of your column would help a lot. There were 2 kinds of column shift. Manual 3 speed or automatic. Which do you have?

 

[CultClassik]

I suppose that's an idea. I didn't know manual on the column had an indicator, but this in an auto. I'll post a pic this evening.

Here we are...wheel and other odds and ends removed. Where on earth is the pointer...I'm assuming there should be one??

Maybe this picture would be better.

Looks like yours is broken/missing. There should be an orange pointer coming down from the top of the bezel pointing at P with the shift lever in that position. You have to remove the lens in the shifter quadrant to get to it. Bent the one in my '74 Charger slamming the transmission into Park and the pointer wound up one gear off. Just learned to live with it....

This little tab appears to me missing.

Ok, mine has a tab behind the lens. Are you guys saying the pointer should be attached to the top of that?

I think that is all there is. If I am correct your orange paint has come off.

So it doesn't come in front of the lense? Because (at least now) you can't see thru the lense, it's white with black lettering.

I just found this but I'm not sure where the guy is saying the screw goes. I'll have to look in there tomorrow.

That screw would be on the 70 up column. I honestly don't know what belongs on yours because I have only floor shift columns.

 

[CultClassik]

Ok thanks guys. I think I'll figure it out once I get this collar/bezel deal off.

 

[Oklacarcollecto]

This would be the screw on the newer columns.

Nope, the pointer goes BEHIND the lense. That's why the original lense is clear.

Ok then, pointer is still there. Something is wrong with the lens. This is the original lens but it definitely ain't clear any more
