New Detent Plates for 1958-1960 Thunderbirds available.
Yes, the Detent plates are available. You can order from the HOME page, using PayPal or pay by check. All the Detent Plates we have are orderable from the HOME page. Something else to check out is the tranny shift right at the bottom of the steering wheel in the engine bay. That piece, after 50+ years gets worn, causing shifting problems. There is a rod that comes off it and goes to the tranny to shift. It is available for replacement. Here is what it looks like. It is called the Shift Tube Selector Arm and you can see how badly mine was worn. Also check the Neutral Switch on the bottom of the steering wheel where it meets that lower dash panel.
Thanks for letting me know I forgot to post the picture! Here are a couple more showing a new one that is not worn like my old one was, and the steering wheel shaft with the Shift Tube Selector Arm at the bottom of it.
