I have a stupid pistal grip shifter question

[Tim Ziegler]

The shifter has a 1-2 lever, a 3-4 lever, a reverse lever and 2 more stationary levers which are the same piece. What are the stationary levers for...

Pictures would help.....

 

[davek]

mine has this

Question a little unclear

 

[Kern Dog]

4 speed transmissions have 3 levers.
* 1st gear/2nd gear
* 3rd gear/4th gear
* Reverse.

There are some 1970 and later models that may have additional linkage for the ignition lockout.
If you want help, you need to explain yourself better.
This is a FREE forum. NOBODY is paid to answer questions here.
Nobody here is a mind reader either. Starting a thread with such little information is a bad way to get help.
What year? What car? PISTOL Grip....

Sorry, I don't have a smart phone. My pistal grip has 5 levers

 

[Kern Dog]

First, it is spelled "Pistol".
Secondly, the "Pistol Grip" lever is a 1970 and later unit that simply attaches to the shifter mechanism. Any lever can attach there so repeatedly referring to it as a "Pistal grip" isn't correct not helpful .

You claim to have something that we have never seen, yet don't have the means to take a picture of it.
You don't need a "smart" phone, just a phone that takes pictures that you can email to yourself....then pull from them while posting on the computer.
Heck man....if you're having such a hard time, draw a picture or something.

I never claimed no one has seen this. Tomato tomoto. Majoring in minors

I have a free 15 year old flip phone but I still post pictures ! (camera and a computer..)

Must be a Dominion shifter. The 3am model.

What shifter of any sort has 5 levers? Lenco? Doug Nash?

Find one like it online and post the link to it?

Shift stops.

[EDIT] Nevermind, just reread OP post saying the extra levers were the same as the other 3

I have 4-5 shifters here (all but one with a pistol grip) and none of them have more than 3 rods/levers.

The pix in the #7 post looks have been cut and welded back together by a blind shoe maker. But I guess functionality is more important than appearance...and everything will be hidden by the noot....

Yes, the linkage to lock the ignition is attached to the reverse shift rod, that the trans must be in reverse b4 the ignition switch will lock. Most of the time all stuff removed when installing headers. A one year feature...1970 only. 1971 used a thumb latch on the column to lock the ignition. Just my opinion of course.

Yeah...and a car that is probably worth $40,000 or more.

The picture was to illustrate the shifter mechanism is not the same as the shift lever.
The welding appearance is ugly but it held together. My "flux core" welder and my limited skills at that time deserve all the credit.
The shift "BOOT", did cover it.

Yes....flux core welding takes a little practice....were you using a shield gas also ? Sometimes the chrome plating would contaminate the weld, resulting in porosity or embrittlement of the weld. 75%/25% argon-CO2 is a nice mix for flux core. Some people like it as you can run a little hotter for better penetration plus flux core is good for windy conditions. Just thinking out loud...
