The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network - View Single Post - adjust the linkage on a 61 3 speed on the floor

scottmitchellrose · 12-15-2016, 01:59 PM

my gears are hard to 'get into'. A friend told me I need to adjust the linkage. Any good videos on how to do this? He said to put it in first and pry bar the linkage all the way (towards engine or differential I have no idea- guess it depends on where the linkage connects). First is obviously bottom left and reverse is top left.

Also, I picked up a 1957 complete 235 motor (believe that's what was originally in the 6 cylinder). Any good videos on rebuilding that?

Thanks a lot,

Scott
