Re: [FWDLK] tranny swap

John,

I think it was said someplace earlier that the problem is that the 62 - 64
were pushbutton shifted and the 65 was lever shifted, even though both used
a cable. The 65 had a stronger detent spring and a pushbutton would not have
enough "push" force on the cable to overcome the detent spring.

I think you're on the right track, that cable controled tranny
reqiures the right innerds to make it work with a cable control.
