Torqueflite drives only in R !

["Mark Swingle" <mark.swingle@xxxxxxxxx>]

I bought a 76 Cordoba at an auction that drove forward in all gears.  Only
Park did not give forward movement.  I suspect the tranny was fried and
that's why it was auctioned.  I don't think it was linkage because it went
straight from Park to Drive, no Reverse or Neutral in between.

Hi,
Before seing a '57 Imperial , let me know if you have some inputs about
this odd problem:
The car drives  in R and in all positions !!
My thought is that the cable is unhooked at trans. end and the manual
valve stays in R position, i can't see other reason. I've rebuilt this
trans 1 year ago and itsn't me who has reinstalled the trans. in the car.
I'll see the car in somedays, fortunately itsn't very far from me; the
mechanic doesn't want to touch or remove something, he's affraid of
automatic transmission ...
