Well the problem lies in the shifter (C4) of my '67 Stang. First it was
loose from side to side..the nut that holds down that plastic bushing was
loose. Tightened it, no more wobble. Good. Another problem is that the
shifter does not like to easily "click" into the detents when moving the
shifter lever through the gears. I took it apart to exam what it could be.
I have lubed the retracting cable from top to bottom, added white lithium
grease to the actual button and where it slides in and out inside the
T-handle. I even polished this area with a high # sandpaper...feels really
good according to my finger. THe selector button does not release when
rowing through the gears (gets stuck). With the T-handle off it works like
it should, with loud audbile clicks!
As I tighten it down, this is where
it goes downhill. I have tried different methods, making sure it stays
straight and doesn't move around...arrghh....no dice. I am stumped. Has
this happened to anyone before? Before I pulled the console apart, I was
able to push the car when in park, I was hoping to see what the problem
could be. Am I attacking the right area? Thanks for the help guys.
