Good Morning all

I am currently in the process of rebuilding the shift lever on my 49 chevy P/U. I have the shift lever repair kit for the 3 speed on the column. it has the pins, spring and rubber bushing. Is there a secret to how to put this back together. I am having trouble with this. Not for sure how the rubber bushing fits in this. Can someone point me in the right direction. Thanks for your help.

Bennie,

Where did you get the kit?

Marcus, any of the vintage vendors have the kit, fits 47-59

Bennie, the rubber bushing is not part of the knuckle assembly at the wheel unless it's meant to fit on the knob on the elbow piece that fits inside the sheet metal lever, might be for the box down the column .... it is tricky to get the pins and spring in place, helps to have the whole unit off the column .... if you have an assembly manual it should be shown in section 7

Maybe someone will post better illustrations, but:

the mechanism is at the upper right

this is different but the part-locations are similar

This post from 2006 might help

ha, according to Larrys picture the rubber does go on the end of the elbow, I don't recall that being on the TF series
