how to repair shifter 63 swc 4 speed
I could use some help guiding me to link for repair (parts kit) of shifter (at transmission shaft) lever that holds shifter rods. It appears that link shifted partially out causing lockout of 4th gear. All this on a borg warner T 10 made Oct 1962.d Your suggestions always appreciated. Regards, Abe G

Abe, I can't suggest one vendor product over another for you, but this effort is nothing more than a part for part replacement. Someone here should have knowledge of a kit too purchase. Along with that you need the factory Service Manual and basic tools. Have you, or are you inclined too do this yourself? It's not difficult, but you MUST have a floor jack and jack stands. Dennis

on my 63 with a t10 it had a old hurst linkage without the two bolt holes.
they welded the shifter on it.
too replace with proper parts the following was bought
shifter plate corvette central
linkage keen parts cc and keen parts get their parts from same
place
i forget where the shifter handle came from but most places have them.
it ain't cheap. jim

The reproduction '63 T-10 shifters and linkage parts are manufactured by Vette Products of Michigan (www.vetteproducts.net), and they're dead-on.

how i fixed problem (temp) on 63 shifter 4th gear lockout
It seems that a pin in the shifter (shifted) moved and caused lockup in 4th gear. Had pin tack welded in place and this fixed the problem. Found out no on e ( that I found) had availale parts, only complete assemblies (at high cost). Hope this helps someone. Regards, Abe G
