1965 Plymouth Sport Fury Transmission Cable Adjustment

[lyndondb]

Does anyone know how to adjust the cable linkage for the above car? 727 transmission but the cable needs adjusting somehow.

Put the shifter in N, the then make sure the cable end slides in smoothly, Then same thing 1 or if it's a manual valve body 3. Should work then. Loosen the adjuster nut to get the play you need.

Are you talking about on the transmission side or the shifter side?

Trans side. Been a long time since I had the '65 trans, I may not recall the trans end accurately.

See if this helps. If need be I can try to get better pictures. Motors auto repair manual 1966 edition. I used these books to adjust my 63 push button trans. Worked fine.

Cables are hooked up on both sides of the shifter and the transmission when I take the transmission from Park to reverse I have to go all the way into neutral and then ease it back to reverse it's like it needs some fine adjustment. Do you think that needs to be done from the KHz asktransmission side or the shifter side if the transmission side do you pull a pan off and do it from the bottom or does the it looks like a solenoid for the cables go in the transmission

Transmission side. A small tweek will likely fix things.

PB cable adjustment procedure won't work on a '65

 

[lyndondb]

Maybe I confused the issue. The cable I am adjusting is not a pushbutton. It is a console shift. ????

The difference in the factory cable adjustment procedure is that the PB adjustment is done in Reverse while the console/column is done in 1st. If you try to use the PB procedure on the console/column there is another gear (Park) beyond Reverse, so you'll be one gear off.

But as long as I use the console link you sent I should be right,,,right?
