Diagram and parts source needed for shift linkage
The automatic shift linkage for my '72 Supreme with a TH400 is sloppy so I think I'm missing some bushings. Can some post a good diagram of the assembly and a good source for what I need?
Thanks
EDIT: So upon further inspection, the rod pictured below slides back and forth in the slot. Is that how it is supposed to be, or do I need a bushing in that slot?

Look like your missing the spring. I bought the kit from in-line with the spring, bushing and hardware.

And that's that with rhat...easy job too. Popped the hairpin clip off the rod, slid the rod out of the bracket, slid all of the hardware on and buttoned everything back up. Took me about 10 minutes 😀

If you have a console shifter, it won’t make any difference in the shifting as that is accomplished with a cable, but it will take the slop out of the steering column collar, the NSS, and make the key easier to remove in Park.

If you want to get really picky about shifter action, you can also look around for replacement rubber bushings & the sleeve for the column parts.
And for any other bushings your setup might have. Your local hardware store has tons of stuff that will work, or see if you can get reproduction GM stuff.
Usually these rubber parts are pretty well worn 50 year later, if you can find replacements, you’ll probably feel the difference.
