'73 Reverse Lockout Linkage
My TA is originally a 4 spd car. Sometime between when I owned it '78-'80 and when I bought it back last year, it had been converted to auto trans. Fortunately a few pieces were left untouched when the conversion was made including the 4 spd pedals, but I've been piecing together the missing parts needed to reconvert it back to the way it was.
Currently I am looking to obtain the parts needed for the reverse lock out linkage. I need everything from the trans reverse gear lever p/n 5616 (I also need one 5615 lever) to the steering column. I have the p/ns for the upper and lower rods but not sure about the Idler Lever and bracket to frame piece, ie., the pivot mechanism. Can somebody help with p/ns for these pieces? Are the p/ns stamped on these pieces so that I can confirm if they are correct when I go to buy? |

Yes, I had to buy complete kit although only needed lower rod. Got it from Ames, but from Parts Place. I have everything you need except lower rod if you need a start on parts..

All of the lockout parts for 2nd gen F bodies with the 4 speed Muncie trans are reproed. If you have a ST-10, used are the only parts out there.

Thx guys. I'm aware of the repro parts but I'd prefer to find used original parts.
Judge273, I'm assuming you're offering the unused repro parts from the kit that you bought? If you are selling original parts instead, please PM me. So does anybody know the p/ns for the pieces I'm looking for? Are the p/ns stamped on the parts? |

If you are going that route I would suggest reaching out to Crash Enterprises as he specializes in original Manual Trans setups including linkages.

... and here I made mine!
I really nice local lent me his, and I used two auto rods, cut them for their ends, and used bar stock; welded the ends on, and voila!
