This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

Dynaflow to turbo 400

    Can I control a turbo 400 using the steering column in my in my 52 Buick which has a dynaflow transmission? The shift stops in a turbo 400 are in the transmission and the dynaflow stops are at the steering column lever. They could be removed. I want to maintain the stock column if all possible.

    Interested in the answer here too; planning on a TH400 where a Dynaflow was also ('59). I do have a '65 column available if I need to change it out... but I also want the original column.
    In my case I'm also wondering about the shift quadrant, which is vertical in '59...

    Its a little more complicated. The TH400 usually will move between 1/2/D
    freely, but may require pulling back on the lever to get into other gears as a
    safety feature. And what about the starter lockout except in P or N? The
    simple fix is use a later column, or you figure a way to convert your column.
    good luck, Bruce Roe

    Maybe asking a dumb question here, but what about the torque tube? Don't your have to change the complete rear end ? ( transmission, rear-end and drive shaft )

    Houmark: I am looking forward to getting rid of the enclosed driveshaft, it leaks all the time and there are not a lot of rear end gear options.
    Bruce Roe: Cole Hersee has a large selection of neutral safety switches and it would just be a case of fabricating a bracket down on the shift shaft of the transmission for each position of park and neutral.

    I know a new steering column would be the best, but I want to retain my steering wheel and shifter arm. I have not done any homework on adapters.

    Lokar has a universal shift linkage kit that appears to make it easy to mate more modern trans' like TH400 to vintage columns.
