Roger,
It doesn’t
make sense to me yet. From what I have been told by 2 separate experts, is that
ALL pushbutton assemblies push the cable in & out the same amount, and that
ALL cables are the same at the top end. It would not make any sense for Mopar
to change these parameters from year to year!
I’d like to hear more about your very long
tale how you found this out.

Wayne:
When I
said that cable must match push button assembly, this means that the complex
lever assembly that is part of the cable assembly must too match the pushbutton
assembly. The 3 components must all be from the same YOM(there
could(likely?) be mix and match assemblies of which I am not aware).
Very long
tale how I found this out.

Wayne:
I do
not know if you figured this out yet. I suspect that your cable does not
match you push button assembly in the YOM(year of manufacturer). The
cable and push buttons in many instances must be from the same year. In
other words you can run a 56 button with a 59 transmission, but the cable
assembly must be from a 56 push button assembly.
Might
be worth a checkout with the vendor who supplied your new cable.

[FWDLK] 2speed to 3speed pushbotton problem
Took the
Powerflite out of my '59 Dodge and put in a Torqueflite. Took out the
2spd pushbuttons and put in the 3speed pushbuttons. Have a new cable from
buttons to trans from Imperial Services. I am not getting enough travel
or throw on the cable movement to allow the selector in the trans to fully drop
into its detents regardless of cable adjustment. Now it can't be
the new cable is too long or too short because it is still the end distance
that matters. Is there a different ratio on some push button
assemblies from different years? I don't know what my 3spd buttons
came from - I had them on the shelf for years.
I'm really
baffled on this one. Suggestions appreciated.
