QUESTION: automatic tranny does stop on park. it still moves, the old man told me cabling issue/????? http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x315/oldmemoriescc/0728011841.jpg?t=1311951791 | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Depends on what tranny set up you have. It may be that the linkage needs adjusting to let it go all the way into park. I'd put wheel chocks under all the wheels, or put it on jack stands, and disconnet the rod to the lever on the side of the tranny. Then see if the "arm" will move into the park position and if it does then see if the wheels spin or not. If they don't then adjust the lever/rod to the "arm" on the tranny and you should be in business....depending on what your running or if its a aftermarket kit that you can adjust...or you may have to buy one.
I should have ask if its on the column or in the floor!! | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 457 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 457 | Like Alvin says, good chance it's in the linkage. I've done a few homemade setups, and getting the rod just right is tricky. Good news is, nowadays you can buy an adjustable shift linkage setup. But, are you using a floor shift or a column shift, and what kind?
Sorry to see a '39 go away, but that '38 it Sharp!
