Re: {Chrysler 300} Re: Transmission cable repro source



Tim I just had my antenna repaired by Frank Rosenzweig in Florida. He was great to work with and did a beautiful job on my G antenna. It's not cheap but parts are almost impossible to find.

Hi, Tim .Sorry they do not...just push- pull or Bowdoin cables. 

That part inside the antennas is similar to Lincolns,-- the Town car masts  but not exactly, mercedes bemz too in 80's. Have to sort it through yourself.. Some times what is in there can be fixed. Free up and lube mast ; othertimes it has broken off oer kinked. The Chryslers have 1 more section, if I remember correctly, but getting it working to 85% height is fine. Looks best there anyway.There is a guy on the Studebaker site, advestises on back page of their national pub,( I think called Turning Wheels,) who specailizes in antenna reapir. However he says it's only for Studebakers, but maybe he will help you. 
(PS, have to fix it---- another old has same problems)  mostly corrosion or failure of lube to let it slide freely, jams it

This cabling company--- do they work on telescoping antennas for a '61 G?  Mine is not working and they believe it has something to do with the cable inside the unit.

I second that outfit, they are great for any cable operated thing
I personally do not understand what can go wrong  with a trans cable? new covering  , shrink tube  won't leak like stock does . Lube inner   part w 75 W . I nean nothing can go wrong ? 
Problems happen with the flat springs in PB assembly , retention  of cable there poor adjustment. I believe it has a certain lash designed into it such that when correctly adjusted spring the on rooster comb tends to center valve in index locations . If adjusted against one side that action is inhibited leading to occasional fail to engage . For that reason I avoid factory instruction ( hows that  work for you ? dog!!) Use test bulb or meter to ground on N switch Slide till bulb goes out to left    then right , center N in middle. Has to be right on  
Learned a lot on this , once I made myself  an adaption of push buttons to late torqueflite , measured all this , getting OD from dodge truck into F . Lot of work, no park ( all that had to go) Not worth it vs putting Hurst shift in F console at ash tray . Looks like 4 sod F ! 
62 - 64  TF has lighter spring in rooster comb for PB , later spring  too heavy

I'm replying to this to pop it back up in the feed for Matt Allyn as maybe this company can make him a new shift cable that works.

I ended up buying the 300K from Lee, along with the new console shift cables.

Here's a Facebook posting by a Lee Meyer, K Ram owner, that may be of interest -
 
I recently was dreading getting transmission cables replaced or rebuilt for my 300 Ram K. I am pretty tired of the small amount of vendors that sell or rebuild parts for these old mopars, because of costs, poor quality, waiting years for things etc. So, a friend of mine who is a race car guy recommended this company in Santa Fe Springs CA that make control cables for race cars, boats and whatever. I sent them my shifter and park cables and the guy says no sweat. ONE WEEK later i had my new cables and they are spot on perfect better than factory by a mile. Pretty much an impossible feat for these chryslers. So, tell the other guys (you all know who they are) to pack sand and call these dudes. Control Cables Inc 562-949-0455 www.controlcables.com
