Muncie shift linkage and speedo cable help

Should'nt be an issue if you're using all factory stuff. Are you sure you have the shift arms installed properly? Post up a picture so we can see what you are dealing with.

I'll get that pic up soon. It's a manual conversion, eBay bought M20. The clip to the 1st/2nd shift fork is on the outside of the arm, while the 3/4th faces inward and clips facing the tranny.

Did you get this resolved? I have the same issue on the 65 that I bought a couple years back...can't get it into reverse. I haven't done the research to figure out which of the linkage or tranny isn't original.

can you post a pic.? im sure someone can get you fixed up.

Some Muncie's have speedometer cable on passenger side of tranny ! Have seen several on passenger side....probably for this very reason.

i ran into something similar on a super t 10. this is what i did. i got a piece of all thread and bent it into the shape i needed, then when i got it right i used it for a pattern and made one from steel. i used a die to thread the end for the adjuster and heated where i needed to bend it. until i got it to match the all thread.

oh, i tacked a washer on the other end to the lever side to get the fit right also.it will keep it from sliding in too far. you could modify the rods you have too.

Thanks...so modifying the linkage is the way to go. That's what I figured!
