Muncie linkage rebuild

[NCGuy68]

Gents..........

Unlike the High-Perf 69 Camaros, none of the Chevelles or Novas received a factory Hurst during that era. They were all the crappy 'bolt to the cross member' shifters we all love to hate.

Sam's Chevelle shifter is different from Camaro as follows:

1. The handle is removable with two bolts.
2. At least 2 different handles were available, depending upon bench or bucket seats.
3. Chevelle used a stabilzer rod bolted to the x-member.
4. The support rod from the shifter body to tranny is much thicker and of a different configuration.
5. The reverse lock-out assembly has a coil spring rather then a heat treated wrap spring as Camaro.
6. None of the linkage is interchangeable.

And the list goes on...............

MacNeish, Rich's First Generation and many others have bought restored shifters and/or parts from me.

Good luck with the shifter Sam.

Would this Ray feller happen to have the correct *clips* that go on the linkage? You know, the old kind that actually work, not the new kind that just piss you off?

Rob - I've got a few extra 'clips'. GM NOS in black Zinc Phosphate. Email me if your interested.

Thanks guys. Was out for most of afternoon and evening. Good info. Craig, do you offer the rebuild kits and/or do you rebuild? BTW, mine is the big hook separate Muncie handle for bench seat. Car shifts a tad better with the reverse lock out bar removed, but still unacceptable. Will sometimes select 2 gears simultaneously, very dangerous for self-destruct!

Is this the clip you need? Ground Up has them for $1.95 each. I have used these before and they work:

Sam - sent you a PM.

Sam,

If this is for that crummy old Dusk blue Chevelle you could just solve the problem by selling the car to me

Bill,

I don't care what anyone else says. You are a real stand-up guy.
