Transmision linkage ?

[m240]

I have a 73 240 that had a auto tranny in it that I am putting a 4 speed into. I am using a 72 4 speed. I also have a 71 parts car. The 72 tranny did not have the shift linkage attached to it so I thought I would just use the linkage from the 71 parts car. I just found out that the 71 linkage is differant than the 72. I didn't want to use the 71 tranny because I didn't want to move the shifter location. Does anyone know where I can get the proper linkage for the 72 tranny? Will some other make or model linkage interchange? Any help is appreciated because after 2.5 months of waiting the shop is finally putting it togather today.

Thanks,

Mark

Try a junk yard. The shifter are the same from 72 through 82. I would also check with the dealer to see if they have one. Make wure that you replace the shifter bushings while your at it. It will make a big difference in how the car shifts.

You might also consider using a shifter handle from a '78 280Z. It is bent more than yours is now and will better clear the tunnel without bumping anything. You can also use this shift handle with a 5-speed and still not worry about having to cut anywhere.
