1969 442

Glad to see so many cool Olds here. I have a 1969 #s match 442 with a TH350 three speed trans. Great car!

Update 2019: Well, I finally sold the car today and already miss it. Strange that the new owner just had an issue getting the car into Park - which was exactly what I happened to me back in 2012 (which I forgot about until I googled the problem and found my old forum asking about this same issue) My memory is long gone, and I am trying to figure out how I fixed it back then because I can't remember.

I vaguely remember taking off the shifter **** and removing the console, then adjusting some linkage that was in that area (bottom of floor shifter)? I just can't remember what I adjusted. I know it was easy because I do recall it taking 15-20 mins to do it.

Does anyone know what I would have adjusted in that area below the floor shifter?


I'm trying to help the new owner figure it out.

Your trans should be a turbo 400 if original.

My guess would be the shift cable came loose on the transmission shift lever arm. It's adjustable by about an inch front to back.
