Post by: miamivice on December 11, 2005, 10:36:43 PM

this is the piece of the console that the shifter goes through, is it missing the gear indicator.......or is that part of the shifter assembly?

great!   that’s for the quick reply on that.

i see that the shifter doesn’t have that shift indicator on it, so i am assuming that it is supposed to be a part of that center console trim piece (from pic i posted?)   is it an individual piece that attached?

ok, part 2 to the question.   is the shifter for 69 the EXACT same as 68/70, somewhere i read there was some sort of variation between the years.    also, what other makes/models can i get the correct shifter, and last but not least, how hard will it be to find one and what should the average price be for one.

Thanks!

You need a shifter like this but with a woodgrain ball shift button.
There is one on ebay right now but its a bad picture for you to tell
exactly what you need.

I have heard that also, that some shifters have a bit diferent bend, I
could not tell you witch one that is. I think 66-70 will work from
everything I have seen.

That will not be so easy to bad its not there they usually are. You can keep an eye on ebay
and find a better one they come up for sale often, or mopar swap meets like our BCC mopar
meet, huge swap meet in our area every year.

Hi all, thought you guys may find this interesting, here are a couple of shots of a 71  Australian Valiant shifter - extremely similar! All our shifter knobs from that year onward are black. Are the shifter knobs the only difference between 68-70 model chargers - or is there slight differences between the shifter gates and/or linkages. I'm looking at buying a 68 charger over here in Australia but its column shift I really want a floor shift car - is this a big deal to convert?? What is everything I will need?? Does anyone have a factory part number for the shifter mech on a 68?? - One last thing - do the BB 727's and SB 727's use the same shifter and linkages?? :icon_smile_cool:
