003 auto trans linkage part

[stwesty]

Does anyone happen to know the part number for #46 in the diagram below. Even better where I might get one?

that part and assembly comes up NLA even back into the mid-1980's. Someone like Ken Madsen of TheBusco might be able to find one if it was on North American Bays. You'll probably have to tell him what year it is on and what type induction system.

If I am reading the diagram right, that is the connecting bolt / mechanism that tightens on the shift cable, and connects to the trans shift lever. If this is correct, then one from a Type 3 will work, since they shared the same transmission unit (003) prior to 76. So you might do some searching in the Type 3 classifieds, I'll also check to see if I have one in my stash.

Before everybody jumps my shit... I know the following suggestion is WRONG.

Okay.

So I misplaced that part. And it’s pretty damned important if you have reasonable expectations of driving your bus around town. I used an electrical hardware part. I know these as Kearnies but they are called split bolt electrical connector. Home Depot:

Works fine. Totally adjustable for fine tuning the shifter and tower relationship. Soft copper so you don’t risk bending your cable stuff.

Thanks for all your help! The home depot fix seems to work. Meanwhile I'll keep an eye out for the original part so I can replace it eventually.

So glad I found this thread!

I am trying to remove the flex portion from the shift tube, but don't want to break stuff, seeing as this is NLA...

My question is regarding #32 on the diagram above.

Is that simply a rivet that needs to be drilled out or??

Thanks everyone!
