Muncie shift levers


Hi... I'm looking for the shift levers, stamped rectangular shape,  1/2 lever and 3/4 lever. They attach to the tranny and the shift rods from the shifter attach to them.

Also need 4 of the Allen head screws (3866261) to attach the shifter plate to the tranny.....

 

Thanks in advance

For the Allen head screws to attach the adapter plate I went to the local farm supply store. They have a good bolt selection. They had exactly the right screws except a bit too long. I just saw them off to correct length and they fit and look perfect.

Hi Carl... I'm in the north, pine trees and rocks, like your old cottage. To get a selection of anything like special parts results in driving to Barrie or Toronto, 1/2 days work. Even worse now, since Covid, No one carries any stock.....
I thought I'd put it out here hoping someone had a shifter under their bench....

If nobody has anything I can grab some of those Allen head screws and mail them to you Bruce. I can't recall if I have 4 for my upcoming conversion or not but if I don't I'll have to go to the store and buy some for myself anyway.

Let me check on Tuesday. My buddy is a foreman at gravel pit and he told me to try Brafasco or Fastenal in town..... I'll get back to you next week if nothing turns up here over the weekend.
Thanks for the offer.

I checked my shifter tonight and I do have a set for my plate but it's not out of my way at all to get some for you if needed. The store is 20 minutes away in the town where I used to work but I get there at least once a week.

Ok, because I grabbed 4 today when I was at that store. Not that I mind having 4 new ones for my conversion because when I look at the used ones I had someone has rounded off the hex in a couple of them.

Why not? I won't do the conversion? You actually think I can drive an automatic? LOL

 Hi... The Hurst levers are thicker than the standard GM and won't fit in the clevis. I have one Hurst lever too, won't fit

 

THX for trying, much appreciated.
