so i did some more googling,, lots of talk of using the right neutral switch , replacing the 3 speed for a 4 speed one
And lots of talk about a slightly shorter rod from the column to the transmission, but im not familiar on that, i like the couple years of simplicity when they went to cable but before the new gen of columns came out.
Which if you knew what you were doing you definitely could do. So nice to just pull a plastic clip , rotate trans lever to neutral, put the column in the neutral **detent** lol , the only way to find the detent is by pushing the shift lever forward while moving it through the range
I can get that behavior in my 77 electra, 90 olds 88. But I dont have a good condition auto column to try on squares
I could try my dads 75 but hed need to find me the key
When pushing the shifter forward, and moving the shifter upwards at the same time, the last detent you will stop on against a "stop" is the very end of neutral , it requires a large letting off of the lever to get up into reverse when doing what im talking about, making it the absolute "proper" spot as far as the column cares
