Re: Rigging a 727 Shifter, Transmission is 1961 Aluminum case

You might want to contact Steve from Imperial Services, he made a cable for me to install a 62 pushbutton transmission drum on rear, into my 61.  1962 was the transition year in the US from the converter bolting to the crank too bolting to a flexplate.  He can also make them any length you need.  Steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx  he is also a member of the club.

From your last post it sounds to me like the overall length of the cable is the gremlin.  And am I understanding correctly that there are two separate cables being used to make up the needed length?  Wondering if there is some way to use an original push button shifter?  Thinking off the top of my head, the original shift cable is probably  @ 5'-6' long.  Could two of these be used with a custom coupling made to join them in the middle.  New ones are available.  Also maybe some of the guys here who are familiar with the 65 console shifter might have an idea how that mechanism might be employed.

Hello All.

I am probably the odd ball in the group but the website is the only one where I have been able to get information on the early Poly and 727 hook-up.

I have a 1963 313 Industrial V8 which I have mated a 727 (rear Brake drum and NO park) to it. I have made all the necessary changes to the crank and TQ.

What I am doing now is rigging the shift cable.

I have it rigged so that I can move my shifter into reverse and the transmission goes into reverse but I have to screw around with the shifter handle to get it back into Neutral.

My question probably sounds stupid but ``Will the shifting become easier after the transmission is under pressure (Operating) . I am doing the rigging with the transmission only half full and not running ``

I am working on a 1963 Bombardier Snowbus

All return correspondence will be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards
