Can anyone help? I have a 32 ford with 396 turbo 350 and a shifter on the column. When I was driving to Indy for the car show and I went over some bumps it would seem like the trans would slip out of gear. To get home I disconnected the shift linkage and manually put the car in drive. The whole way home it did not slip. The shift linkage is very mickey mouse, but I am thinking that to do it right I have to convert it to a floor shifter. My thoughts are that when I go over a bump the engine and trans. are on rubber mount so they can move a little and the shifter does not move. I think that is what is jamming it out of gear. Should I get the right shift linkage? Should I go with the floor shifter? If I go with the floor shifter, can I put one in by just lowering the trans mount or does the trans have to come out? Please help me and maybe I can help you one day.
