Hello, I have a 1970 Cuda Slap Stick Shifter that I need assistance with. This is the shifter that had a round knob and black button at the top (not the handle). Here is my problem:
Inside the shifter, there is a threaded rod that the black button screws on to. The rod is threaded on one end and when you press down on the black button, the rod goes down and moves the ratchet mechanism. This rod has fallen out of the shifter. If I look closely at the rod, there is a small perpendicular hole that has been drilled about 2 thirds down with a small press pin in it. I think this small press pin had something attached to it that kept the rod in the shifter and also helped in activating the ratchet mechanism.
Where can I purchase a complete replacement slap stick shifter? Preferably with a new wood grain knob, spring and black button. I realize that I really just need the threaded rod but I don't think I can just purchase that rod. I would also really like to know what was attached to that threaded rod that kept it in the shifter (I.E. what went in that small perpendicular hole located about 2 thirds down the rod)
Please assist?
Thank you!
