Hi All, As you may know, I am in the process of changing my matic from an A series auto to an A+ auto. Here is how the cable connected to my original '68 gearbox.  I have attempted to connect it to my new late 80s auto as below, but as it is too small, I need the bigger fork as it won't allow the movement to go into Reverse or Drive, only Neutral through to 4th.  I believe I need one of these,  I don't suppose anyone has one laying about or on an old automatic they aren't using? Happy to pay postage, paypal costs etc. Let me know if you have anything I may be able to use. Thanks in advance! |

Hi Martin,
Thanks for your response, have just now PM'd you regarding the fork. But I don't recall seeing a rubber boot on the fork?

No not on the fork, the rubber boot is on your old parts you removed

Hi Martin,
Are you referring to the boot in the top picture? Where the gear selector shaft enters the gearbox casing?
Thanks

There wasn't any other boots anywhere that I have removed... Doesn't mean to say mine hasn't been missing for years I guess.

Hi Martin, Are you referring to the boot in the top picture? Where the gear selector shaft enters the gearbox casing? Thanks Yes the concertina boot for the older selector mechanism, not used on later versions, I don't need it to be in good usable condition just to be able to create a CAD model from it to reproduce them. |

Hi Martin,
I have just gotten home (been away with work) and had a look at this boot. I didn't remove it as I didn't need to when I disconnected the cable when swapping over the power units. The boot is in about 3 pieces and 1 piece is still wedged in the transmission case. A previous mechanic had been very liberal with the red silastic stuff trying to stop it leaking and filled what was left of the boot. I can go about taking it off if you want, but I think it might be a bit useless for your needs if you were wanting to get it reproduced. Let me know.
Thanks
