Unless you get it in the exact correct spot, you will have a nightmare trying to get it to shift. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 |

They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

Looks like it is somewhere around a 52, judging from the adjuster nuts on the control arm rods.

Red58, that's what I was thinking. I have the trans in neutral and was thinking I may be able mark the lever and case since both arms should be parallel in neutral.
I had this box apart to clean it some time ago, and all the innards were fine. Hoping to still find it that way.
