[Shivers]

My 72' is a tail shift. If yours is stock then get a good bushing kit and install. That is the first step adjusting the tail shifter. Second, the only other adjustment is at the tail end of the trans. The shifter rod is held in place at the far tail end by a bushing in a mount. The mount bolts to the trans through two holes, holes bigger than the fasteners. That way the mount can move Up and Down and Side to Side. and that is how I adjust my tail shifter.
