I don't have the original trans unfortunately. I do have the shifter linkage and shifter bracket.
Dang, should have kept the trans, its very rare and has unique guts and converter specific to the 442.
Besides the cam and rear the KZF trans is what makes the 442 unique frim all the rest...
If you know where the trans went to track it down if I were you and put it aside for a rebuild in the future.
Any floor shift gear selector will work be it 3 speed or 4 from any Gbody.
Go buy the correct cable from rockauto.com
They're cheap and that way you know its correct, eBay sucks... stuff sold on eBay is just marked up stuff found elsewhere most of the time.
Do you have the original cable bracket?
If the gear selector won't go past drive then there is an internal issue.
Here's a photo of the gear selector, the cable is for Lightning Rods so ignore that but everything else is the same.
