My 59 fury ate my turn signal return mechanism ,all I have left is 2 small clips and 1 spring. Unable to reconstruct without a detailed diagram. Can any help with a place to locate a picture! Do I have all the parts to reasemble ? Also 1 more problem,I hear a rather loud metallic sound when I shift from drive to reverse or vice versa. Is it my powerglide or possible the rear end! Thanks

Your Powerglide? Only if it's a Chevy.

Look a couple of posts down for the clang.

Not sure on a 59 Fury, but this is what the mechanism looks like for a 57 DeSoto.

Without looking up my archived info, the two grayish-brown pawls, above, control the signal switch cancellation.

One of the pawls' points shows a little more rounded-wear (or natural-condition) than the other one.

You want to have (relatively) as curved-sharp of pawl-points as possible.

Also, you want to ensure that the sides of the pawls do NOT slide-contact against the switch's pot metal
body (like the left-side pawl may be doing, right now)..because that contact will inhibit the turn signal
switch's being able to re-set itself at the end of a turning movement.

In fact, to ensure an operational gap between a pawl and a switch's body, I had had to
file-down the thickness of a pot metal arm, to create that gap between the pawl and the
switch-body, at their contact point.

Keep those joint-connections greased-up.

And, if you want go 'nuculer' [-G. Bush] on the switch, you can increase the draw-spring's tension
on the switch's body, too.

As for the powerglide statement, sorry ! Your right on the Chevy. From now on its powerflight!


Just need to find the ping sound before something brakes!

Ed's pic shows part of the assembly. The other part is a plate to be placed into the steering column, and, that holds the actual electric switch and wiring harness. This is attached by two screws going through 2 nylon bushings holding the above part to the lower. This floating part of the assembly is sprung to the stationary part, by a single W shaped spring, which has been known to break.

Chris----Just saw your 3-27-15 entry. In the early 1980's I was driving my then 1957 Dodge coronet poly-4bbl-powerflight convertible to two-weeks reserve duty when I started to hear what you described when s**tfting from drive to reverse --a metallic clang. By the time I got to the fort my reverse band (in the transmission) had hit the dirt. Car ran perfectly well in drive. Hope your problem is solved by now.---Fred
