bracket for automatic 75 chevy (can i get some help)
« on: December 07, 2007, 12:02:55 am »

hello everyone, newbe that needs a little help. there is a bracket mounted on the frame between the transmission linkage and the steering colum, it helps to keep the shifter in the right place i assume. the shifter is'nt working properly park is reverse, reverse is neutral and neutral is drive. it was working before but just recently i notice that the bracket was broken and if i can fix this right away maybe it will solve my problem. so if anyone can help me and let me know where to get one i would really appreciate it. i've been to different web sites and also checked my   truck magazine but have no luck finding it, i don't even know what it's called. thank you and hope to here from someone soon.

      ps will be posting pics of my truck soon it's a swb 75 chevy truck w/350 and an 84 front clip.

Look at the wreckers. They should all be the same 73 - 87.

I agree, check the local salvage yards.

How about welding the bracket to fix it?  Is it the bracket that the shift linkage is connected to - accross from the transmission - the one with the plastic washer and spring?

I agree with welding it. As far as the bushing inside there a nylon oil drain plug gasket and a grommet works mint.  :P

Nylon gasket, or if you happen to have one laying around and the time to grind it, an old crankshaft pilot bushing.
