Well, I had it all back together but something wasn’t right with shifting. The detents on the shifter were not lining up with the trans detents.
When I first modified the Powerglide shifter to work with the 6 speed, I measured the stroke of the shifter lever from the pivot point to the bolt hole on the bottom and the pivot point to the detents arm on the stick itself. I made graphs.
I calculated that from the shifter pivot point to the bolt hole on the bottom where the rod to the transmission connected needed to be 6.25” long. But this meant the detents on the shifter were not located correctly so I had to make my own to match what the transmission needed.
Everything worked fine. Like perfect.
But then I rebuilt the trans tunnel and the location of the shifter on the floor must have changed. It couldn’t have been much because the shifter still fit through my custom console.
But even off by a 1/4” was enough to make the detents wrong. So now I need to build another one for where the shifter is now.
Aarrgghhh....
Some pics from my original try...
