The Ford 1969 Mustang 4 velocity shifter linkage was solely made for one year. The control box was utterly different from the sooner 4 speed shifters Ford made. One massive motive was the reverse lock out characteristic was in the shifter physique and not the handle. Which was the explanation for it's short life span, the reverse detent was a spring steel piece that was very brittle as was the main spring inside the housing. The life span of those parts was most likely about sixty five,000 miles earlier than failure depending on what number of instances the car was put in reverse. When this occurred shifting from 3rd to 2nd gear without resistance became an adventure, sometime resulting in partaking in reverse whereas going forward.
Automobiles being restored in the present day using replacements parts rarely will reach sixty five,000 miles or be put in reverse very much. The overall shifting of the linkage has by no means been a big downside, some drag racers might argue this point however for everyday driving the linkage carried out well. The rods and levers are just like the sooner Mustang and Torino fashion cars however with completely different bends. Mustang levers are longer and Torino levers are the identical as the earlier models.
The 1969 4 speed shifter management box for the Ford Galaxie is basically the same however the rods and levers are different. The forward gear rods are tubular and the levers are in a tear drop form but each have the same reverse characteristic and had the identical problem.
All replacement elements for these shifters are available and are of equal or better in quality than the originals. Discovering them can be robust, they don't seem to be out there at dealers or auto part stores however can be found online by not less than two sources that I do know of.
