Default 1972 auto shifter cable clip

what size (diameter/width gap) is the clip that holds the cable onto the shifter housing?

it goes into the groove and stops it pulling back out.

is it a "E" clip or a pressed plate style?

karnt get in there to measure the size without pulling the whole console....

yes they are only a dollar or 2 over there, but i'm not paying 40$+ postage to downunder.

I wouldn't stake my life on it being totally "right" but mines just a normal E-clip


I've got the original cable in a box somewhere, I'll see if I can locate it and measure the groove for you

i don't care about being "right", as no one sees it anyway.

i tried a circlip i had in bolts junk box, but it doesn't have enough meat around the outside to hold it properly.

the inner/smaller dia of the groove would be great.

thanks

Common e-clip size

The old one I have is 0.612 (5/8) dia shaft, 0.488 (7/16) groove dia. The groove width is 0.141 which is going to be a lot wider than a 5/8 e-clip will be thick (should be probably .05" thick or so) so maybe you want to install 2 if there's too much space???
