Alternating Reality

- I printed some can holders to clean up my bench, then I had to replace my alternator, then I started looking at the shifter issues. Stick around until the end and see an elk with a huge rack.
See everything, from the beginning, by watching the 1964 Dodge D100 Utiline playlist here:

Is your amp gauge wired properly?
Shift linkage looks worn out from the way it moves side to side where it pivots.
Gauge is wired as it was when I got it. Linkage does seem wobbly. How would I tighten it up?
You may need to remove the shifter mechanism from the column, disassemble and clean. See why it’s so loose. And then you may need to inspect the transmission to make sure it’s able to freely shift between the gears. Maybe there’s a synchro binding up while shifting causing too much force to be applied to the column and that is why it’s moving around so much.

when i did mine i went to the local speed shop and bought the spacers for electric fans. they are a very hard heat resistant nylon spacer. the center hole was perfect for the shift rods, so i put a bolt thru it with a nut and chucked it up in my drill. then clamped it to the table, locked the trigger and went after it with a file and some sand paper till i had the proper outside diameter. the spacers were very thick, so i was able to cut one spacer into 3 bushings once the diameter was right. then i used a flat washer on either side and a hurst shifter rebuild kit that i swiped the spring loaded locking pins from. these pins are far superior to cotter pins as they hold tension on the washers to keep it from rattling. one last thing, at the very bottom of the shifter mechanism that is mounted under the hood on the column. look at your bracket the arms sit in, there should be a large wave washer between the end of the bracket and the last shifter arm. my bet is its long gone. that has to be there to keep tension on the shift arms or your selector pin will go between the arms and leave you stuck in gear in traffic. i replaced mine with a series of stacked washers to remove the slack but not be too tight for a smooth shift. that took some trial and error, but when i was done, i could power shift a column. im willing to bet you couldn't do that when they were new...lolol.
rebuilt 3 different columns, even offered a kit at one time that no one was interested in. if you need any help hit me up. it will serve you very well if you have an FSM that shows the break down of the shifter if your gonna tear it down to get the slack out."
It sounds like my wavey washer may be wore out.
Looks like you’ll be removing and rebuilding the shifter mechanism.
