my linkage seems it won't go threw all the gears or into park at all because of the manifolds i got. its really really and i in really close. I'm going to try to jimmy rig the linkage and try to make it work but if ANYONE HAS ANY suggestions that would be a life saver.
ps i already ordered BOTH LOKAR shift linkage gifts both lokar part number
#ACA-1800
AND
#ACA-1804
both seem to not work for me as i can't get the rods bent in the right shape without messing up and having to buy another (I've bought like 4)
and the other kit is for a aftermarket steering column which mine car and app WILL not work.
any ideas ???? at all?? please help i will be posting pictures of all
and any comments would be super and thanks for looking
as you can see the stock shift linkage goes to the left slightly and moves up or down with gears. can i just the linkage or bend it to work or do they make something more specific that i can buy to make this problem go away
update :i went to the junkyard and got a few extra linkages out of some GM turbo 350 A-body cars and a truck just incase
You can probably mess with it to get it to work but a Kugel linkage is the way to go. It allows the leverage point to be moved on the trans to allow access to all gears easily.

Okay, thanks a ton!! ill give that a try it seems to have a little and i mean little room for adjustment on the linkage. but i will check out Kugel as well because i think that is the way i probably will have to go....unless i want to modify lol
i just looked online it seems i have the same looking kit from locker and i have yet to make it work...hmmmm
ill try a few more things and come back with a update!
