1969 chevelle shifter help or Question?

[olredalert]

----Are you talking about the steering cloumn lockout rod??? Unless my memory is completely gone there is no reverse lock-out rod (so to speak) on a 69 Muncie shift assembly. The 69 style shifters have never been known for their robustness. Anyone here on the board that drove these cars the way they were supposed to be driven back in the day has probably hurt one or more. They often get caught in two gears at the same time. A Hurst shifter has no steering column lock assembly with their shifters that Im aware of. You can restore the muncie shifter but you will end up babying it and that just isnt right, IMHO!!!......Bill S
