To adjust the shifter linkage on a 1956 Ford Truck with a manual 3-speed column transmission, refer to the section titled "Gear Shift Linkage" on page 168. Follow these general steps:
1. Place the transmission and shift levers in neutral. 2. Loosen the shift rod adjusting nuts or clamps. 3. Align the shift levers on the column so they are in the neutral position and parallel. 4. Adjust the rods so they fit into the lever holes without moving the levers. 5. Tighten the adjusting nuts or clamps securely. 6. Check the operation through all gears to ensure smooth shifting.
Make further adjustments if necessary to eliminate binding or misalignment.
