Re: [FWDLK] Tranny update conversions

[Mike Sealey <mopar2ya@xxxxxxxxx>]

Some months ago someone mentioned procedures for
converting the MoPar A500/A518 or post-'66 A904/A727
to shift via cable, which would allow retention of the
pushbuttons. Anybody know more about this? If I ever
build the '57 D100 pickup of my dreams I'll want to do
this.
