4 SPEED SHIFTER CABLE

The bad news is - you can't. The good news is - there is a company that will do it for a nominal fee of course. I can't remember their name but I think they were located on the east coast.

The fellow on the east coast is Bill Heeley. He reconditions the handles and the shifters. Nice guy and easy to deal with:

3621 Mt. Olney Lane

Olney, MD 20832

(301) 774-6710

Ditto that. Bill rechromed/rebuilt my original shifter. Price was more than fair.

Hi,

Sent two shifters to Bill Heeley and got them back a few days

ago. Excellent work and a nice guy to do business with.

Have a question for you. He puts on a rubber or plastic bushing

over and under the reverse sleeve and I wonder if these shifters

came with those originally. I know that Ford used them on

NOS replacement shifters because I bought one in a box many years ago

and it had those bushings. However, I have never seen them

on an original. Could it be that they just have worn out over the

years. Thanks for your help.

The early style angle levers don't have the reverse interlock bushings and the later curved style do.

I don't mean to hijack, but how do you get the "T" trigger out of a '65 style handle in order to change the shifter boot?

Unfortunately, you don't. You have to stretch the boot over the T one leg at a time.

Thanks Dave.

If you soften up the rubber in warm water and use silicone spray you can reduce the odds of having it split on you.

Put the boot out in the hot sun for about half an hour. Use dish soap to 'lube' the shaft.

So, Bill Heeley CAN replace the cable inside the shifter handle, and rebuild the mechanical part of the shifter and re-chrome the handle as well??

Yes,to all your questions. If you send him the

boot he will put it on for you as well.

He did two of my shifters a few weeks ago and I sent him two

NOS boots and he put them on. Excellent work!!
