Automatic Shifter Rebuild...

Today I rebuilt the shifter housing on the car.  It was soaking in degreaser for the past day, so after it dried off I stripped it down and cleaned it up.  It was coated with red oxide, and then a couple of thin coats of VHT Silver Caliper paint. 

A new bushing kit from Virginia Classic Mustang was installed to clean up the slop in the lever, and everything was retightened to factory specs.  It feels like a new shifter.

I also reconditioned the accelerator mount.  Like the others, it was stripped down to bare metal, coated with red oxide and the finished off with a fresh coat of Black Engine Paint.  I still don't have a pedal bolt for reassembly, but that will go on the next order.

Next up, the Heater Box...
