does anyone have this part ?? It is the small rod that goes from the trans linkage to the neutral safety switch mine is broken off at the threads and missing the swivle part. right hand side of pic and part #3 on drawing..
1/2 way there, i found a part to take the place of the missing Swivle. it is called a throttle ball joint from PAPCO (10-32 stock # 262-203) the only problem was the stud on the ball joint was a 10-32 and the original hole is for a stud the size of an 8-32. so i ground off the threads and rethreaded it to an 8-32, now it fits in the hole like a glove and with it being held on with a nut instead of a clip it will have very little play. Now i just have to weld a new threaded tail in 10-32 to the shaft and i should be ready to go.

well it is repaired, now to see if i can install it without dropping the trans.... had to remove threads from ball joint and re-tap to 8/32 so it would fit through hole in bracket. if this works i am going to make a complete new one with a larger rod so i can put a swivel on both ends.

Repair so far.. works but i will have to cut the end again and weld on a new 10/32 bolt. As you car see im right at the end of the treads and i need to come back and 8th to line up with the black lines. (tape will be removed after it works) found a NOS switch but they want $500 !! i will repair this or live without...

$500 for a switch, and $300.00 for the wiring ... OUCH!
