Yup
Cable shifters are designed for GM & Furd , go figure they both have equal spacing between gears , the Mopar has a longer distance between park & reverse so the shifter needs to be Designed for Mopar , the only cable shifter that does this that Iam aware  of is the Turbo Action Cheetah shifter
another reason why I refuse to drive autos

I don't mean to hyjack this thread but I was gonna ask . . . since I have no shifter for the convert yet . . . what ya'll thought about which shifter to use??  CP did you just answer that??  Is that the only choice??  All help is always appreciated!!  :grinyes:  :grinyes:  :grinyes:

This is what I found on the Cheetah:

Fits 1966-Up Torqueflite and Torque-Command 727,904,998 & 999. The Chrysler's unique feature is the rear entry of the cable to the transmission, no starter or header problems. The cable exits shifter towards engine. Enters transmission from the rear.  All necessary hardware included and easy installation. Special Note: Park/ Neutral Start Switch fits transmission, not shifter. Gating designed specifically for the Torqueflite gear selection. 
Part #70001B CHEETAH SCS SHIFTER with Black Gate Plate, Control Switch and Park/Neutral Start Switch (PRN321 / PRN123). 

Part #70011  CHEETAH SCS SHIFTER with Black Gate Plate, Control Switch and Park/Neutral Start Switch. Designed for Reverse Pattern Only (PRN123) with dual shift air shifter capabilities. 


Which one of the patterns is standard??  PRN321 or PRN123  ??  How do I know which pattern I have??

P-R-N-D-2-1 Is stock or forward pattern and P-R-N-1-2-3 is reverse.

Do you have to go aftermarket? Why not stick with the slap-stik set up? Works just as good and no other brands will be using that shifter, unlike all the drag and brand x cars lined up with B&M shifters and TCI slammers. Just a thought. You can always get the tilt grip and keep it all MoPar.  8) If I was going for a comp shifter I would get the Cheetah haven't heard anything bad about them, that or Hurst.

Hey Rev,
   I know its hard to believe, it happens!! About 20 years ago my father-in-law took to the
dump my unused BFG spacesaver spare wheel/tire combo and mint bumper jack for my
Cuda becuz I was stupid enough to store my stuff in his barn while I started disassembly of
my fish. He claimed he thought it was from his 73 Charger he used to have. No ask, just heave!! :banghead: Dang it, my blood pressure is rising again just thinking about it! :stomp:
Went to that dump a week or so later but it was gone or buried.  :burn: :burn: :burn:
