Anyone with a 66-67 automatic car? Can you confirm something….

I just confirmed that I ordered the right part… a 66-67 shifter setup for a th350 or 400 trans but I’m not sure they didn’t send my one set up for a PG. problem is it was purchased in 2018 (where does the time go?).
This is my detent plate. There doesn’t seem to be separate detents for the 3 forward gears. Should there be?
Two different pics of the same thing so I hope you can see what I’m talking about.



Pretty sure it’s a Shiftworks kit. They want like 60-70 bucks for the stupid detent plate. If it comes down to it, I’ll try to modify this one.

If I “google it”, I find 3 different pics that all look different: the middle pic looks like mine.

I’m tempted to enlarge and print the last pic (top item in the pic) and use it as a template to modify my plate.

Yours appears the same as the detent shown in their advertising.....except the 1st gear has a noticable slide to the rear of the car. Looks like you've probably got the correct one, but if you still aren't convinced, I'd call shiftworks.

I emailed Shiftworks who confirmed I have the right detent plate. Hers his reply:


I was able to weld up an adapter so that I could use my old Hurst shifter cable with my stick style shifter and the detents seem vaguely in the right position. So I’m good to go.
