Sloppy SM465 4 speed shifter modification. 

Thanks for sharing! 20 minutes of work made a world of difference

I can't believe you just put that greasy ring on your beautiful carpet and left a grease stain ring on it man, party foul 🤣🤣🤣

Great video, looking forward to the next one

Good stuff right there!

HowDo? I had the same thing happened to me in my old 75 at that time.Man that's one helluva idea.Surely learn something new every day.I still have the old tranny, I'll have to try it out one day on my other future projects.👍👍✌️✌️🏁

After new roll pins and shifter is in installed, to retain the roll pins use a stainless steel hose clamp over the top of the shift tower you will never see the hose clamp under the stock shifter boot.

i drilled out the hole and put in a larger spring steel roll pin...tightened right up

I love the sound of the glass packs . But I think I'm going to try the dynamax tubes on my 358 check em out their 25 apiece on amazon

Great Stuff! Thanks! (subscribed)

Secure the roll pin in the hole and then use a small punch and hammer to peen around the pin hole to shrink the hole until the roll pin is securely retained. Done this trick with bearing races and roll pins over the years.

yes

If pins are loose or missing tap them with a 3/8-16 tap then use a 1 1/2" 3/8 bolt and jam nut. Run the bolt in till is puts a little pressure on the ball then tighten jam nut use locktite of course.

That's the reason I named my 82 Lucy.

I have problems with that transmission, it takes the changes when it's cold but when it gets hot the changes stick. what could it be? thank you very much

Hah! I knew I wasn't hallucinating! There IS supposed to be a little plastic bit in there! Problem is I can't even find a GM part number for it. And welding the shifter into one piece resulted in the truck no longer going into ANY gear and me having to scour the junkyard for another shifter, which is *Also* missing the little plastic piece :‐| I guess just a tiny bit of give is crucial to soak up differences in manufacturing tolerance or something.. So I guess now I have to start using pieces of plastic trash until I find something that works. Maybe a scrap of PEX plumbing. Or the cap from a Coleman propane bottle

Could you shorten the length of the shift lever to tighten it up some? Make the throw shorter?

Nice video. I have 83 gmc jimmy 4 speed 4x4 gm465452 I lost low & 1st gear but can get 2nd, 3rd & reverse. My bro said it might be the shifter. What do you think. It started with not catching 1st gear but would catch low gear so I would drive in low then shift to 2nd then 3rd while driving. I only have 3rd gear & reverse now. Talk to me BRO.

id love to see a 6speed manual put into a square body 73-87 chevy pickup

My apologies if there's already a video on this, but have you ever had a lose 3rd (or 2nd if you count L. 1. 2. 3)? Mine will fall out of place if I don't hold it up. First time it happened, was full-throttle on an onramp, pitched the truck sideways and nearly crashed.

I have been trying to get my sm465 fixed but want go into 2nd and 3rd and reverse gear. If you can tell me how to fix that to with the shifter welded

Just did this and it tightened up my shifter but now it won’t go into low. Goes in all the other gears fine. Just wondering if you might have any idea what went wrong.

Are you using the stock clutch in that set up

Do they not make a bushing that goes back in there correctly?

Do you know how adjust the linkage ( for this manual transmission)

I just thought you would know?

What is your gas mileage?
