63 T10 Linkage

[Harry S.]

Vin is 94XX. Is the hole in RED original?

Thanks

Harry,
That extra hole is not present on my 110XX T-10.

Below is a picture of the linkage set f/s by one vendor. It matches mine. No second hole.

The linkage on my December 1963 car.



Picture I found on the internet some time ago:



Just went through a discussion on the reverse lever on the B/W transmission. Yours matches mine and looks correct.
Interesting that the 1-2 shifter is the only one that doesn't appear to match.
You can purchase individual parts for this sent up.

Is all the linkage painted black? I thought the shift levers on the tranny were black and the arms were gray.

Thanks

Re: 63 T10 Linkage

I have used the black phosphate to color a lot of different steels. High carbon steels tend to come out on the black side. None hardenable steels come out more to the gray side. Sometimes with a green tone to them. I didn't check the manual but I suspect they are both treated alike but the differences is attributed to the steel type.
