TF 727 "How To" shift lever seal replacement

[Big_John]

There’s two seals in the throttle linkage interface.

Not on a '65. On '66 up, there are two seals, one on the shifter and one on the throttle linkage. With the '65, you have a cable shifter and just the throttle linkage on the upper part.

The seal looks like this. It is the same seal as the one used in '66 up where the throttle linkage goes into the valve body, but in this case, the seal goes in the case.

These shifter seal replacement tools look to be in the $18 - $45 range on feebay now. this one below is $35. Many look to be Amazon style knockoffs... they'll copy anything these days.

How do I replace that seal?

How do I replace that seal?

I don't know if you can do it with the valve body in or not. The ones I've replaced were when the valve body was out.

Maybe someone else can chime in.

That said, check the shifter cable first.

I had to drop the valve body in the 68 Fury II with a 904, but I was putting in a shift kit anyway.
