55 Fordomatic Shifter adjustments?

Post by Mel56 »

On a 55 Tbird Fordomatic automatic transmission, the detents do line up with the shifter. Is there a way to adjust this? Is the adjustment at the shifter or down at the transmission?

Thank you.

This is a copy of the instruction from my 1960 edition of MOTOR's manual.

Steve,
Thank you so much for sending this. Yes, I think this should do it.

I paid to have the fordomatic rebuil so I'm going to take this down and have the shop read it. I paid big bucks so, they can climb underneath and set this right.

Thanks again.
