plywoody47 Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Ok gents, finally getting back to the Woodie, after a 10 yr hiatus. (Twins are off to school) Among many things, I need the spring at the lower (engine side ) of the column shifter. Among the 3 "spare" columns that I've collected over the years, all springs broken in 2. Part no. 112-652 I don't see this part listed among Bernbaum, Mitchell, VPW catalogs that I have on hand. But I'll start making calls tomorrow. Any leads? Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desotodav Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Mike, I can't offer you a supply source but I may be able to provide you with some information. The parts manual calls them 'remote control gearshift rod return spring'. There appears to be a difference in the two diagrams (P12-D25) and (D24, S11, C38, C39) in the manual which I viewed, but I am not sure which part number is for which vehicle - part number's listed for L.H.D vehicles are 1121651 and 1121652. I had some of those springs made up a while back for my truck/s and found that they were different to the car gear shift springs. I did (at the same time) have a couple of those springs made up for my mate's 48 Desoto sedan (R.H.D) though and he tells me that the one which he installed is working well. I suspect that it may well be the case that you might need to find a Spring Maker as those are a particular design spring, and if you do... perhaps consider having the spring made from stainless steel as the main cause of breakage which I have witnessed is rust.
