I have a '50 with a 216 and a four speed. I read the shop manual but still cant seem to get the shifter out. Any suggestions?

The collar should turn by hand but sometimes it takes a little convincing with channel locks.

Yes, it must be pushed down to turn.

Just stepped in the house from the barn to say "THANKS"! It has to be pushed down more than I realized. I love Stovebolt

I was able to get my collar off as described above but have not yet had to take the shifter out. I have a pre-SM420 non-syncro 4 speed with the reverse lockout. How is the lockout rod removed? Thanks.


It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to paint it.

So, it's not attached to anything (except the shifter)? Can anyone explain the mechanics of the reverse lockout rod? It seems an interesting piece of engineering (at least to me)Thanks, again.
