Technical 1953 Chevrolet 3100 Shift linkage installation pictures?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by alteredpilot, Oct 9, 2019.

  1. Hey all, Got a basket case 3100 with a stock 3 speed and I need to identify the correct linkage rods and where they go. Anyone have detail pics at the column and at the trans so I can make sure the levers are on correctly etc?

    Thanks in advance

    If you've got them both I remenber as being pretty ez. I do remember the 2-3 trans arm aimed down so I'd guess the both did. The bolts to hold them in the notches spelled it and the longer one went on the 2-3.
    As for the steering column the lower one was 2-3 and the upper 1-R. I'd just keep trying. Only could be 4 tries. Good luck.

    Couple of pics from my '51. Been too long to even remember what the 2nd one is. These are just before disassembly, and aren't there anymore. img001.jpg img002.jpg

  8. anyone else? The only rod I have that fits hits the brake pedal. Probably for a passenger car. Or is there anyone local to Lawndale/Gardena/Torrance who has a stocker I can come look at? Thanks.

    There is a pin off the side of the bell housing that the linkage pivots on.

    Because of the bellcrank the reverse low trans lever will point up
