Re: 1969 Fastwin shift linkage adjustment?

[bullie]

Frank and Ben, I may have gotten lucky. I pulled off the oval plate to take a look at the linkage and noticed that the carbon was rubbed off the shift rod to about 3/16 below the connector. It looks like the lower rod is slipping a bit. I tightened it down as tight as I dared in that brass fitting. I worked the shift handle and did not notice any other looseness. I will try it tomorrow and see if things lock up like they are supposed to. Or, maybe this is the "beating the linkage to death" Frank mentioned. I can hope.
