Putting shift rod together on 48 DeSoto


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I am starting to put the shifter parts together now.  I took the shift rod completely apart in order to install the steering, shift rod pad that will bolt to the floor or cowl?  I'm glad I have the parts blow up to help me figure it out.  This diagram doesn't show the shift control rod that comes up to the shift lever.  Contrary to what another poster said, that the control rod rubber bushing was just to suppress noise, the bushing is essential because it is the only thing that attaches the control rod to the lever assembly!  I have to wait for my bushing in the mail now as the first one I got was rock hard and cracked in half when I pressed it on.

Smart phones take pictures you can keep on hand to sort stuff out when it comes time to reassemble.  You just have to take the pictures before and during disassembly.
