Installing a shifter and console
Hello all,
I purchased a used automatic floor shifter and console for my 72 cutlass. Are there any tips for getting the console over the shifter after the shifter is mounted? I removed the shifter ball of course, but can’t place the console over it. It looks like there are drift pins holding the “T” handle in place, do I punch these out? Also, the car goes into park, but will not let me remove the key without moving it myself (on the steering column) should I adjust the cable itself?
Thanks

It's not the cable, but the linkage from the trans to the column that is loose. Mine is the same way. I just deal with it but it should probably be refurbished with new bushings and that would take care of the problem.
