73 mach1 shifter question (automatic)
iam trying to replace my the aftermarket B&M cable shifter on my m-stang with the an orginal shifter (i got one on ebay..whole assemble minus the linkage). i was wondering what the linkage assembly looked like? and if there were different ones for the type of trannie supplied. (my car orginally came with an fmx but i have a C6 in there now. hopefully i can make it work. thanks!

I don't know about the linkages, but you should be able to find them on eBay. I do know that the actual shifter itself did not change from the late 60s through 73 depending on the tranny. IE the FMX and C-4 had the same shifter, the shifter you bought should work with the c-6 if you get the right linkage

They are solid steel bars, bent in just the right places and one end is adjustable. I dont see why it wouldnt work with a C6, the shifter quadrant is in nearly the same spot as the FMX. If I get outside today and can find mine, I'll take a pic of it for you.
