How can you tell if your car came with the 3 piece or the 1 piece linkage? I don't have the build sheet, and a lot of parts were replaced during a previous restoration. In the FSM, is lists both.
Do you have the original trans case , does it have a pivot pin on the left side , if it does 3 piece if not 1 piece
70 used 3 piece.... 71 went to 1 piece... Both work, I prefer the three piece design, it gives a more positive action...

I'll have to crawl under it and look. The engine isn't original so I wouldn't be surprised if the trans isn't either. It has the 1 piece on it now.
Crawled under last night and the trans is not the original to the car, but does match the engine which I know is from a '70 C body. It didn't have the pivot pin, but does have the mounting hole for the pin.
Thanks!
I picked up a three piece and went to install it today. Does every body style/engine combo use the same sized linkage? When I went to install the lower rod to the trans kickdown lever, it loos like it's a few inches too long. It's not even close to fitting. What am I doing wrong here?
the distance from the pivot pin to the shift lever is the same on all auto trans , is the pivot lever on the right way around ?
it only goes on one way, so I say yes.
I always thought the one piece hit the firewall in a B or E body.
B body the one piece hits, E body it s works on as there is more room between the engine and firewall. I have a one piece in my 70 Challenger and it works fine.
I got it installed last night. I had the pivot arm mounted in the wrong place on the transmission. DOH!
