Hi all, I have a 4R70W automatic trans in my 69. I tried to adapt the original 69 Ford shifter, but the gate will never be correct. PRND12 is in different locations on the 69 shifter throw. It's beyond my fabrication skills to fix it. I was able to get the linkage figured out to drive the car, but its not safe until the gate and reverse lockout work properly.
Who has installed an aftermarket shifter in their 69 or 70 irrregardless of trans model?
Has anyone been able to do it without cutting up the center console?
Thank you.
John
