I have the old style Roadranger 13 speed w/overdrive shown below and would like to know if and how to convert this to the new style shifter.
I did it some time ago and there's more involved than just the shifter. The air hose routing has to be changed and I remember changing something on one of the shifting cylinders. There was something of a kit from Fuller with a diagram of how to do it. I wish I could remember better but that's all I got. The memory doesn't work like it used to.
I remember it being pretty pricey. I went for it after the dealer parts guy told me the original style was discontinued and not available. I found out later new knobs were even available from NAPA.I agree, I had a truck with this type shifter and the shifter knob went bad and I checked with my local heavy duty truck shop and they called the factory. I changed my mind quick. If I remember correctly, I had to buy a kit that went on the tranny, I think it was like $300 bucks. Guess what I did???
Yep, That new chrome knob, looks great
