I took out my B&M shifter
Personally I thought it looked to big in the FC
Refitted a Jaguar shifter I had before. cable runs under carpet and hits front of the bench seat before going through the floorboards
Looks like a manual shifter with the clutch pedal still in the wagon

hi all the conversion to auto is going well the kit i bought from holden man(roger hancock)is very good, i wanted to keep my fc radiator so i grabbed a good oil cooler from a jap car, i will install this on the drivers side behind the grill ,i need to know which end of the gearbox the oil flows from so i can plumb it in ,and the job will be nearly done

My old mans fc super charged 186 trimatic  trans with hurst shifter cable opperated is having trouble  finding gears.  Seems ok when in shed but went for test drive today before mondays engineering appointment and has trouble going from drive to neural. Cant find neutral. Untill going into reverse and back again then  starts In drive.  Have spent ages getting it to adjust to get all gears but still a bit wrong,.  Has anyone had probs with hurst shifter cable set up or do I need to be smartteerrrr.with adjustments. ?  Thanks

 It sounds as if the bracket holding the cable at the transmission has a bit of give. It needs to be solid ie; no back and forth movement to get correct adjustment.

cheers

This is why I prefer to make my own linkages . Spent money on a cable from flexi drive and the more bends in it the more play in the selection . The upshot was shelfing the idea of a column shift auto .
