Re: Torqueflite pushbuttons completely non-functional

[<62-65-mail-list-club@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had something like that happen (too) many years ago. I don't remember having to go under the car ('63 Dodge). I 
*think* I took off the dash cover plate where the buttons are and made sure the "park" lever mechanical stuff was okay, 
clean and lubricated, which is not a bad thing to do anyway. :)  

Thanks,
Gary H.
