Alright finaly got the new tranny in and it runs great. However I have run into a bit of a problem. You see the new linkage that the shifter cable attaches too has bends in the portion that is conected to the transmission. The old trannys was straight. My problem is that the cable will not go far enough forward to engage park. So as of right now when the shifter reads P, it is really in reverse and so forth. Now if I wanted to roll in a hoopty I would not care, but that is not the case. There is plenty of cable left, just no way to adjust it the inch forward it needs to go. As you are looking at it now it is neutral. I need to either one get a new shifter cable, which on I have no clue where to start with that, or find a way to extend the one I have now. I put this out to all of you because there might be an Idea that I have not thought of. Now we thought of taken the old linkage and putting on the new tranny, however I would of still run into the same problem. This AOD shift linkage lever stops at vertical which is 1st then moves forward, all the way forward being park which is close to being horizontal. My old tranny vertical was neutral then moving it forward you had reverse then park. If you moved it the other way then obouisly you have all the other gears. any imput would be great. thanks
