Did Ford shorten the shifter linkage that is attached to the C4 between years on the Mustang II?
I noticed after I installed a rebuilt tranny I got from a II parts car that the inside shifter didn't match up to where Drive, Neutral, Park, etc should be. The new throw pattern seems to be shorter. After trying to figure out the problem, it seems that the shifter linkage on the tranny itself is about 3/4" smaller then the original I had.
Since both transmissions are from IIs, I thought they would be the same.
So, did Ford create a shorter throw for our cars?
