(58 Chevy, 3 speed, manual steering) :mad:
I first disconnected the shift lever and upper rod coming into the cab. On the lower rod that goes into the shift control box, there was a coil spring and 2 pieces of a rubber boot.
1. What is the purpose of this spring and rubber boot?
2. Where do they go?
I have looked in both the Service manual and Factory assembly manual and can't find anything helpful, so now I am turing to the most trusted and knowledgabe source of information.
H E L P!
