I need the correct hardware to tighten up my console shifter linkage.

The linkage is just loose enough that when I properly adjust the linkage per the service manual the backup lights will not stay on in reverse. Here's what I have: 69 Coronet console shifter with 3 speed 727 Torqueflite.

Thanks FBBO
 
Any luck working this issue out? I have the same problem with my 68 charger. if I adjust the reverse switch the shifter knob doesn't pop up when in park. there seems to be to much slop coming from the transmission, because all my linkage is tight

I may have said before I have a new harness, switch and upper bushing. My lower bracket that attaches to the transmission is the kind without the bushing. So, I installed a new bracket with a new bushing but that didn't help. I still see the backup lights flicker when I shift into reverse.
