Ive enjoyed watching this thread to see what would happen.  Glad to hear there is some closure.

Got randy's shifter in today and it's nice to experience how it works.

1-2 just with a flick. 2-D with a flick. Nice and tight.

Just soaked it in prep and etch. Had some light storage/shelf rust. Now she's new. I'll grease it up and install it this evening.

Before you slap that dude in, would it be possible for you to take a video of it working and post it here or email it?  I'm sure others would learn from it, but I am having trouble with mine as well.  It goes from 1st to Neutral without stopping.  I haven't looked at it yet but when I do, a video would be very helpful to understand how the parts are supposed to move relative to one another.

I'll drink a couple beers and re-shoot a youtube video tonight.

The old shifter is apart so I cannot do a direct compare, but it will still be extremely helpful.

Decided to drink flavored vodka instead. Hopefully it's still informational. :)

BTW, I identified two part numbers that were different compared to my original shifter. Most of them are the same part #.

Enjoy!

The center gate for neutral/drive is nice if you have to much cam & not enough convertor......  Glad you now know it isn't a lie....

Great that it got resolved.

Back to my original question, since there are part number differences, could kawahonda's original shifter be just a standard center console shifter and not supposed to be a slap stick?  If the car was supposed to have a slap stick, perhaps the wrong shifter was installed at the factory or later, instead of the shifter made incorrectly?

All A/T floor shift E bodies got a slap stik.....  All the shifters of that style are suppose to be slap stiks....  All the parts to make a slap stik work are present, just one part is made slightly wrong....

I have a 74 challenger with 904 automatic..and console shifter...   BUT ...it does not say slap stick on it, and If i push the button down i can pull it back the entire way to first...and then without the button push it forward but no lock to prevent overshooting to D or neutral. 

Weren't all of the E body console shifters supposed to be a slap stick??     Maybe someone replaced mine?   What was the part number for the Correct slap stick model ?

Later on there were shifters like that in the Cordoba era cars that were not slap stics, however the Cordobas weren't manufactured until 1975.
