I might be shopping for a new shift rod linkage, based on these photos I found elsewhere on the Forum. I converted from a TH250 to a TH200-4R.

If you happen have a TH350, I might have some useful used parts for you that now appear to be not so useful to me.

I have a TH400 with a reverse manual valve body. Wow that looks like a lot of pieces that I need.

I send you more photos tomorrow. Thanks SSN696

Manual valve body. Wow, that might get tiresome driving it around every day. Since a TH400 was never an option in the G body, you may be doing some mods. I'd start with the TH350 parts. I guess you will not need the kick-down solenoid switch in the gas pedal, as you are going full-manual. I can pull mine out, pack them up and ship them to you next weekend if I get any helpful bites on my want ad.

Thank you so much 696 but I’m going to hold off for now and put everything back. My setup is a street/strip car. More like street😜

Useful photo in several ways. Shows the difference in how the crossmember bolts on for a 200-4R (when the car came from the factory with the 200-4R frame extension).

GM service manual below shows the ignition linkage adjustment.

Loosen bolt, push rod up as far as it will go. Tighten bolt. Check it in Park and in Neutral to see if it will start. If it does, you're golden. Make sure it does NOT start in gear. There's also a backup switch on top of the base of the steering column inside the car you can adjust a little as needed. See pics below.
