    71 Cuda slap stick shift adjustment
    « on: June 18, 2010 - 05:57:26 AM »
    Adjusting the slapstik on my 71 Cuda:  I cant quite get the shifter to line up very well with the indicators  (P, R, N, 1, 2 etc....)

    My Haynes manual is really vague on the procedure to adjust from underneath the car.    Someone plz send clearer instructions

    Adjusting kickdown linkage is next......
