loose shifter

Hello,

 

What could be wrong when my column shifter lever is numb/loose? The tranny works otherwise fine. It changes gears perfectly but the lever has only park where it sticks.  The car is 1964 Pontiac Parisienne with PG. Iīm new here on this site tho i have been randomly checking out cool canadian classics here.

sorry for my bad english itīs a bit rusty.

Welcome to the site J Hamming.

Detent issue in the trans itself?

Worn or missing linkage bushings, worn steering column bushings. Dirty bushings. Lack of lube. Mis-adusted.

Welcome J!

If you have any other pictures of your car to post it would be great.

Just get in there and wiggle stuff around and look at what is hanging your "shifting" up. It could be anything that Mark (cdnpont) said.

Whatkind of 327cid engines were used in 1964? I assume they are somewhat similar to chevy impalas. So 250 hp to 300hp versions possibly? I have one project engine laying around waiting for to be assembled. I havenīt looked closely yet for any block numbers or anything. At least i was told itīs 327.

That's right same as Impala........250 and 300 horsepower.

If the orig carburetor is still there the 250 had a WCFB carb and the 300 had an AFB........

Get us some numbers - driver side rear cast into the block,

and on the pad on the right front of the engine just ahead of the head,

a series of numbers should be stamped into the block.
