1965 steering column shift detent

[Mr. Kelly]

I need help with sliding steering column, not sliding sideways or locking into park - kicking out of gear. Does anybody know a mechanic in the Seattle to Canada Washington state that knows how to fix is issue?

I do not know of a mechanic but it sounds like you are going to need a shift detent. I know that Bird Nest in Portland OR has them and they are a fairly cheap item like $15-20. The problem is one that cannot simply be fixed on its own, you will need that shift detent. In the meantime be very careful don't leave the car idling unless you are behind the wheel.

When you post, choose a subject that summarizes your post. How does anyone know what the post is about when the title is "1965 special edition, Landau Thunderbird"
