C6 shift linkage question...

[kaptnkaos]

Hey Guys,

On a C6 are there one or two linkage bars attached to the steering column?
Does anyone have pics of the bar(s) themselves.
One of our guys needs the linkage bar(s) and I know I have it (them) in my storage unit.
Since, I'm not the one who disconnected the tranny and stuff when we pulled the engine, I just don't know what to look for.

Thanks guys,

I think it's just one linkage and a kickdown rod. I have never seen a c6 with a place to connect more than on shift linkage.

Hey thanks RTG_RACING...

What's it look like ???
I know the steering column has two shift levers coming out of it, which is why I was thinking that there might be two rods.
I don't usually do automatics... so I am not sure even what I'm looking for...
I bought the '71 CS to part out and have never really messed with auto's.
I do know, that if it came off the '71 CS, I have one and am never gonna use it....

Sounds like a manual collum to me. Does it have PRND21 indicator on top of the collum? I have seen that in trucks that were 3 on the tree. The rod looks like a shift rod for a 3 on the tree. You can adjust it on one end and the other has a sharp 90 degree bend and a c or e clip that holds it in. I will snap a picture of mine tonight when I get home.

Not to go to far OT but if it has a good grill PM me about it. thx

2 rods point to a 3 on the tree. I have a 77 parts truck with a c6 and it has only one rod. My 72 with a c4 only has one as well. Never seen a 2 rod auto, but I could be wrong.

My truck is missing a lot of things on it, but there is onlu 1 shift linkage on the column for the c6 that s in it. The rod coming up from the tranny just snaps into it.

It does sound like a 3 on the tree column, but here are the requested pictures:

(Rod not attached as I no longer have an automatic. )

While on the subject does anyone reproduce the rubber bushings that go on the ends of the linkage that TOF picured

Go to ace or home depot you can match up the bushings.
