inland shifter

[1966 Hemi]

Need A little help again!!! My reverse T on the shifter is not sring loaded and i think it should be?? The car also has a console...I think that i read that there is a cable inside the shift tube? Correct? Is the shifter able to be removed with out removing the console? I think that all i need is to remove the handle to replace it?? Ideas or direction would really help. It still will go into reverse but i want it to be correct....HELP!! -Rich

I will have to look at the service manual but I think there is a spring in the reverse lock out that is accessible when you remove the shifter knob. To replace that spring you might have to remove the shifter to free the cable that runs through the tube. You should be able to remove the shifter handle by taking the top plate off of the console.

When they were new we used to call them mystery shifters because it was always a mystery as to what gear you would end up in when you shifted. The linkage is crap and the T claw for reverse always rattled. Guys could not wait to repace them with a Hurst shifter. If you really feel you need it in your car for the factory look then as others said, buy the Hurst shifter with the adapter piece from Brewer's and use the handle. No, the reverse claw will not work or be needed and you can pack it full so it does not rattle.

I have had no problems with my Inland. I love it and would never change it....but that's just me.

the spring is at the bottom of the shifter....handle needs to be removed from mechanism, shifter ball needs to be unscrewed, then little allen wrench needed to remove wire from T-handle...then wire & spring come out the bottom

I got Inlands in both my 66's...never any problems

Just to add a little tune up tip...one thing that can be done to improve the feel is to make plastic bushings for the handle. The factory uses rubber grommets and after 40 yrs they might be a little broken down. I threw a piece of Delrin in my lathe for a near instant fix. I could have used steel but thought that might have transferred too much noise. The rest of the fix would be to eliminate all the slop from every pivot and joint.

I have a early production <Sept> 68 GTX with a Inland shifter..It likes to lock up in reverse.
Linkage always seems sloppy no matter what I do...I keep a crow bar in the trunk..

Can this be serviced in the car?? Does the console have to be removed? It has the tach on it? I was hoping there was a way to remove the handle without having to disassembling the whole console and tach??

just remove the two screws inside under the console lid that hold the shifter plate down and you can get to the shifter and remove the three nuts that hold the handle to the shifter mechanism

Is the spring and the cable available to purchase??

 

[badmopar67]

I'm not sure, Mine was ok somebody on here might know and chime in

the spring could be found at most hardware stores I would think

the cable is another story. It has a lead ball at the end...I have heard that bicycle brake cable can be made to work...you would have to file the brake cable lead at the end to fit the shifter handle. A friend of mine bought a cable years ago, but not sure where he got it from.

I'm using SM-HI SHIFTER MECHANISM HURST/INLAND CONVERSION until I rebuild my original mechanism....Brewer has some replacement parts......

Had one in the 68 Barracuda Formula S, it worked flawlessly
