trimatic gear selector question

Post by dave a »

I'M PUTTING IN A RED MOTOR AND TRIMATIC BOX.I HAD A HYDRAMATIC SELECTOR IN THE CAR. TO CHANGE IT SOMEONE TOLD ME TO GET AN "HQ" GEAR SELECTOR AND ATTACH IT TO MY ORIGINAL STEERING COLUMN,WHICH I GOT. THE PROBLEM IS THE LEVER THAT COMES OUT OF THE STEERING WHEEL DOESN'T SEEM TO LOCK INTO THE HQ GATE. IT SEEMS TOO WIDE. SHOULD I FILE IT DOWN OR FILE THE GATE? :?: :?: :?:

check the thread just below this one :D
'The best engine in the world is a vagina. It can be started with only one finger. It is self-lubricating. It takes any size piston. And it changes it's own oil every four weeks. It is a pity that the management system is so f*$king temperamental.'

i've read the previous thread and it's helpful but it still doesn't answer the question about how to make the ek lever mesh with the hq selector gate.
