pushbutton problem
Some 3 weeks ago I posted asking help with a pushbutton
shifting problem encountered when I changed my '59 Dodge from a Powerflite to
a Torqueflite.
A number of you were kind enough to sit down and write
with your suggestions, all of which were looked into in one way shape form or
another. I greatly appreciate all of you.
Problem SOLVED: the answer was in removing the
Imperial Services (IS) reproduction shift cable and putting a decent
original back in the car. The IS cable has an oversize outer protective
sleeve compared to stock which was allowing internal slack over the range
of the cable movement so that no amount of adjustment would allow all
detents to be engaged.
In fairness to IS, this cable was ordered some 4 or so
years ago so they may have been made aware of the problem and current
manufactured cables may work just fine but if you are ordering one
from them, I would certainly discuss this issue with them.
Thanks again,
Wayne G
