Suckie Shifter

[Jeff Howard]

Well its winter, and I need a project. My 90 SHO 5spd has been resting peacefuly for the last 8 months, I think its time for a REVIVEL ! First problem is the shifter, Forward to backward movement is fine, Side to side movement takes two hands and strong forarms. Making the car almost undrivable.

oh ya, thanks for your help.

Sounds like a bad shift cable. Time for a rod shifter upgrade!!!

yes...but I'm not sure if a cable shift y-pipe clears it.

The y-pipe is not effected.

The resonator pipe is. On my '89 that has a factory installed rod shifter, all they did was bash a flat spot into the resonator pipe to ake it clear

Which probably requires removal of resonator pipe ?

After doing a forum search on this subject, which I should have done in the first place(sorry fellas). I got all the info I needed, and then some.

And boy do I sure miss my 70 Chevelle.
