Column to Floor shift swap completed!

Great! Thanks Allan ...

 

I just pulled the car in the garage and found out I have some adjusting to do .. the reverse lights come on in neutral instead of reverse ..

 

Mustang-IIs and Pinto indicatiors work on those as well...

 

waitaminute, did TL just comment about a Pinto part??

 

Cool ... sounds like I have a pretty good chance of finding one then ...

 

I was thinking somebody was repopping those indicators?

 

I searched every Mustang place I could think of ... nobody has them that I could find ...

 

I thought I saw one......but I can't find it now. I bought one off ebay years and years ago.

The bushings are available though.

 

I know the shifter bushings are available ... mine seem fine.

I thought there should be a bushing on the end of the rod where it connects to the lever on the tranmission but none of the Ford diagrams I have show a bushing ..

 

Craig ... I will get those Magnum 500's on one of these days as well!

 

Hey Dan, what type of switch are you using for the back-up lights?..

BTW: That keychain is the exact same one that I have my Maverick keys on...

 

With the custom lever Ed made me I left the rod connect to the steering column. When I shift on the floor the collar on the column also moves. So the reverse lights and neutral safety all work as before. I have to adjust the linkage to the steering collar so the reverse lights come on at the correct time .. it's off by about 1/4 inch or so ..

 

The problem with that is you can't mount a tach on the column. That's why I disconnected all the column linkage on mine. I still need to figure out how to make my backups work...

 

dan, i was thinking what about a grommet on each side of the adapter? just a thought

 

T.L. are you saying you can't mount a tach on the column with a column shifter? :confused: I had a tach on mine with the column shift still hooked up. Unless you mean mounted with something other than the standard hose clamp?
