This linkage interlocks with the steering column to release the key. 1970 E-Body cars with console shift automatic and 727 Transmission.
Comes with torque shaft with swivel, front and rear rods. Will need bracket that attaches to each end of torque shaft
$125

Found one of the brackets on another interlock torque shaft.

I just sent a box that was about the same size and weight across the border and it was just shy of $25 US.  :2cents:

I can check tomorrow and get a FedEx quote. I usually get a shipping discount with our company. Will let you know tomorrow.

Here's the assembly cleaned up with one of the missing brackets installed.

Thanks
Chris

To send to Canada it's best (for me at least) if it's sent USPS. They have a flat brokerage fee of $9.95 where as UPS and FedEx just pull a number out of their hat ! Last box I got shipped UPS cost me $135 in brokerage alone :swear:

With parts like that you could value them at $20-$30 bucks and then it doesn't even stop at customs...usually....

Ok, I'll get a US postal quote instead.

If I can keep the package at 4 lbs or less, it looks like First Class International is $36.50 USD. Priority International is $43.25 USD.
However, if it weighs anything over 4 lbs (which it may), Priority International would be $46 USD according to the USPS website calculator.

Thats from zip 27513 to L7G.

Very useful picture of how the shifter linkage is put together.
Found the reference helpful.

Good luck with the sale

I have a better diagram from the Factory Service Manual if you need it. Shows interlock and shifter linkage. It's probably on the archives of this site somewhere.

Thanks. Appreciate the offer. I have an original factory manual in very used but useful condition I bought back in the 70's.
I purchased a complete/restored set off of Flea-Bay several years back.
I used your pics to assemble the linkage.  They were great.
My car has some linkage parts missing; reason for purchasing the extra set-up a while back.
I save pics of areas of the car that I will be working on as a reference.  Always great to see the real thing.
I will now go under and compare with what is there.
Thanks again.
