mtPackard51...if you install a new nut at the end of the shifter tube that extends from the firewall..you will need to adjust the tightness/tension of the mechanism so that it does not bind. PS..I purchased a nylon lock nut with a nylon retainer in it to help keep the nut from backing out and falling off. A DROP of light oil or PTFE lubricant on all the contact surfaces helps the smoothness of linkage operation after you are done tightening it to your satisfaction. The nylon retaining nut I purchased was 5/8 inch inside diameter with size/pitch 18 threads..I imagine yours might be the same.

Keep it rolling, man!
