Title: Ford Four Speed Shifter
Post by: Brian Conway on July 22, 2017, 06:21:12 PM
My car has a T-ten B/W transmission with the 4 speed shifter, rods, tabs and Ford shifter with reverse lock out.  In a previous discussion I learned that the HEH-BT close ratio trans is the assembly line part correct for my May of 65 San Jose GT.  I also learned that the present shifter, rods and tabs would need to be replaced ?  Looking for some help with that.  My shift lever with reverse lock out finger pull should swap to another shifter body OK ?  The Ford shifter bodies usually have no identifying numbers or marks but are all the same up to 68 ?  Do the Ford rods and tabs carry any identifying numbers or marks ?   Thanks for any help with this.  Brian

Brian,
Download this http://squarebirds.org/Manuals/1965/1965-72FordPartsTextCatalog/ and you will have your answer. It's what I would have to do from my paper copy but my back is aching again.

Randy - no.  You are confusing him with Bill Herndon.

Bill Heeley rebuilt the factory shifter in my Shelby. Night and day difference. Functionally perfect. The down side is if you're looking for a concours assembly it won't pass. He doesn't plate, he paints the parts.
