Hi

I had some time with my mini-matic on the weekend and got it running after decades of gathering dust, after 30 seconds of cranking it ticked over and sat and idled beautifully.

The next step is to drop the motor in the car and test out the auto under load. I'm missing a part that joins the selector cable to the gearbox and have had trouble finding a photo of it online or in my books.

If I can't find one I am sure we can fabricate something similar, so would love some images of what I'm missing.

Your help is always appreciated.

Thanks

Benn

Here are some pics. If you're located in Melbourne you're welcome to come have a look. I have a few engines laying around that you can look at.

Thank you for the pictures they will be helpful. Where in Melbourne are you 68AUTO ? It would be good to see one in person and take some measurements.

Thanks again.
