from memory the shifters a popriveted in and you have to drill them out and make up a pannel to cover the hole..
to change from the rod to a cabil i made up a bracket out of sheet metal. and compleatly removed the rod.
make the bracket so it screws onto the bolts that hold the auto pan on

with my mates car he is going for a turbo 400 so it will be a different setup as they are already cable as far as i know.. you would have to have it spring loaded so when you go in the direction from 1st to park it would spring back. does that make sense. i can picture what i mean in my head but it is hard to explain. best bet would be to pop under and have a look for yourself..

yeah ive had a bit of a look under neath just not shore how i can mopunt the cable so that it works like the rod. i dont realy picture wat you were saying wat will have to spring back if i go from first to park.

some one must have put a pro rechet onto a t700. plz help.

you will need to have the cabil lower on the arm coming out of the auto. this will make the shif shorter but will also make it harder to shift

is there an adaptor kit that can be bought. does your cable come in from the front of the box.
