If there is any play in the bushings on the cables, I highly recommend Booger Bushings. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Mueller" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, March 07, 2010 8:17 PM Subject: Re: SD> Shifter on 84 Daytona
Thanks for responding. I have changed my 84 Daytona Z to have 87 electronics, 2.5, and other performance parts. I am using the 523 shifter that came with the transmission. Cables from a 568. No, I am not trying to use the original 525 cables. I gave up on the 525 10 years ago after destroying 2 of them. I worked on it tonight and I think I figured it out(got lucky). I will find out tomorrow after charging the battery back up. I removed the center console so only the shifter/cables were left. Loosened/removed the 4 nuts holding the shifter down, lifted it up and tried shifting at different positions and elevations. During this, the cables pulled my way what felt like 1", as if they were bound somewhere. I bolted it back down and just looking at the position of the cable during shifting and how it feels, it seems to be in place now. Like I said, I'll find out tomorrow. I hope it's that easy. Thank you.

What shifter are you using? The 523 uses a 3 plane shifter, while the others use a?2 plane shifter. You need to use a 523/568/ or Neon shifter. Cables should be from a 523/568 Daytona since this is what kind of car/ tranny?you have. Please tell me your not trying to use your?original?Daytona cable shifter? That just not gonna work.

New shifter bushings have been installed.? I have pinned the transmission in place and set the shifter in place.? After that I unpinned the transmission and can only get 1-4th and Reverse.? I try moving the linkage manually, but with no luck getting all 6 gears.? If I move the shifter further one way I lose reverse and 5th.? If I move it the opposite way, I lose 1st and sometimes 2nd.? I cannot find the happy medium.? Am I doing something wrong?? Any pointers? Thank you.
