Title: WTB, NG3 cable shift linkage
Post by: mrwierdwrench on Tuesday,November 22, 2022, 09:49:06 PM
As the title says, I'm looking for a cable shift setup for a NG# transaxle in a 74 TCS. Any out there? Thanks!

There is nothing that just bolts on.  Banks used to offer a kit but that required modifications and fabrication as well.  It is not that hard to simply make one up.  I used the shifter from a late 90s Toyota Corolla and made up pivots and links to match it to the transaxle end.  Your local truck shop can make up custom cables.  Bit of head scratching but not too much.  I can walk you through exactly what I did if you are interested.

Dave Lindemann made up some kits about 10 years ago, someone may still have one around.  I just installed mine lol.   The instructions for the kit has some details

I'm going to be pulling the transaxle this winter to build and fit a 352/395/365 hybrid.  I'll photograph my cable shifter in detail and do up a how-dun-it.
