Re: [Chevelle-List] Shifter Problem
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Bill Is it a column shift car, if so there is a small piece of wire with a small clip attachedto the steering column with a screw. The easiest way to get ate it is to set the parking brake and drop it into 1st gear, loosen the screw and slide it either down until it matches the gear, then tighten up the screw. Keep in mind this is for a column shift car. Hope this Helps Tom - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [Chevelle-List] Shifter Problem
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Thanks for all of the help! It is a column shifter, and that little wire/screw combo seems to be what I need to adjust. I tried adjusting it, but I only got it adjusted for drive, L1, L2, - it seems like the thing has been stretched out or something, because it goes from park being correct, to reverse being neutral, neutal being on a blank spot, and drive and up being correct. I should be able to figure it out now that I know where to look. Thanks again for the help! -Bill --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Bill Is it a column shift car, if so there is a small piece of wire with a small clip attachedto the steering column with a screw.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Shifter Problem
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List It sounds to me like you need to adjust the shift rod. This adjustment is just by the steering column in the engine compartment by the firewall. The shifter rod goes through an adjustment swivel. The swivel has a bolt that is used to adjust the shift areas.

I have a 72 Malibu, Automatic TH350 trans., and the shifter is 1 gear off (neutral is reverse, drive is neutral, etc.). Can someone point me to information on how to correct this? Is this a hard thing to fix? It's not a BIG deal, just annoying, and it has the potential of being dangerous. I don't know a whole lot about cars, but I'm not afraid of trial and error. Thanks in advance for any help. I've only been reading the posts for about 3 weeks and I have learned a LOT. Bill __ Do You Yahoo!?

RE: [Chevelle-List] Shifter Problem
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Actually, you'll be surprised at how easy this is. Since you didnt say otherwise, I'm assuming you have a column shifter. Drop the little panel under the steering column. It should be 4 screws. Up in there, you'll see what looks like a string that is screwed to the steering column. The other end of it goes to the pointer (and is spring loaded to pull it towards Park. You should be able to loosen a screw on the column and adjust the pointer's position. It's been a long time since I did this, so I hope I didnt miss any details. -Dave -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Bill Willis Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2001 9:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Chevelle-List] Shifter Problem Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List OK, I've been lurking long enough.
