CowboyConnor Posted July 25, 2016 Report Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) Finally completed putting the car back together (1950 Special Deluxe 3 speed) and cannot get Reverse. Reverse is now 1st gear and I do not know what to do. Any Gear Guru's out there, I need your input and troubleshooting tips. Edited July 25, 2016 by CowboyConnor Quote
Niel Hoback Posted July 25, 2016 Report Posted July 25, 2016 Start by disconnecting the two shifter rods at the transmission levers. Move the trans levers to the neutral position. Put the top lever at the the point where the spring behind it just contacts it, but don't push it any further. Put the column lever in neutral. Back under the car, adjust the rods so they fit into the trans levers without moving the levers or the shifter. That should get you pretty close to what you want. 1 Quote
Jerry Roberts Posted July 25, 2016 Report Posted July 25, 2016 And remember safety first . Don't do these things without blocking your wheels and setting your emergency brake . Quote
