Folks, can we change the title of this thread to something more
related to whatever is being discussed? I foolishly keep opening
messages expecting to find something related to push-button shifters
like I have in my '62 - 65 mopars because the thread title is
"Paralysed Push Buttons. Now it's about "where did you get your
windshield", "tell me more about your windshield" and "I don't like
the new shift controls". Sorry is this makes me seem like a
crochety old fart, but I guess I AM a crochety old fart. Thanks...

I got it
several years ago and had a hard time finding one. Since
then someone has started re-popping them as I have seen them
on Ebay. The 62 & 63 were the same, 64's were different
because of the different cowl design. I could only find two
at the time, one clear, in Tenn. and one tinted, in
Minneapolis. I bought the tinted one.
When I got
mine it cost me $300 + $100 shipping and $100 to have it
installed by Kryger glass in Omaha with no guarantee if they
broke it since they did not provide it.

Push Buttons
Even with the finicky adjustment you gotta
love these pushbuttons. I took my 63 to a glass shop to
have a new windshield installed I was going to leave it
for the day. I pulled it in to the service bay and
asked if anyone new how to operate a pushbutton
transmission so they could move it when they were done.
None of the guys working there were more than 35 - 40
years old and they all just kind of looked at each
other. So I started to explain and the mgr. said
"that's OK we'll just leave it here till you come back".
Loved it.

I'm looking for opinions.
I got my Fury about a year ago and it came to
me in desperate need of a transmission rebuild.
(727 ) . Getting it rebuilt was one of my first
efforts. I had it done by a local shop who
seemed fairly competent and honest. Most of the
issues they had were from just not being
familiar with the old torqueflite, but they
managed.
The car is a very original, 383 4bbl, all
stock. I discovered early on that someone had
Jimmied up the carb (original AFB) so the 4
barrel wouldn't open. I gently tried to get all
that back in shape, and I also found that the
throttle cable was moved to not allow Wide Open
Throttle. SO I fixed that.Now, when I push the
loud pedal she really squirts!! Now.... for the
push buttons. Only Reverse, Neutral and Drive
work. I have been under the car and played with
the adjustment on the cable. I actually got it
where nothing would work. We went in small
increments all the way from end to end settling
back where we started (about mid way). Still no
function from first or second button. They will
depress part way and eject whatever button is
pushed in, but won't push in all the way or stay
in. I have not pulled the cable all the way out
of the case yet as I don't have a lift, but it
seems to be jamming at the push button
mechanism. Maybe another attempt to keep someone
from Hot Rodding like the carb and throttle
cable?? Any suggestions? It may be a while
before I can try any fixes, I'm a big old guy
and can't get under the dash without pulling the
seat, so I would like a plan first. Thanks in
advance for your input.
