Default Re: 36 ford transmission shifter very slopy

I suspect that you meant to type that you have a 68-7222 shifter housing. This could be used on your 32-35 gearset with one change. You would have to replace the B-7100 low/rev gear with a 67-7100 gear (has straight cut gear teeth but a larger diameter fork flange) to match the larger low/rev fork in this tower. Unless someone has changed out the 2nd/high fork, it will already be correct for your gearset. Lastly, the 68-7222 tower will require that you open up the hole in the transmission cover sheet metal to clear the top of the upright tower.

Don’t be tempted to grind the tips of the existing low/rev fork in the 68 tower. You could make it fit your early type gear fork groove but the fork tips would look like toothpicks when you got done grinding.
