Thanks but not much help. Anybody have any idea how this monky motion works ? I did find a 62 out of a car and have some idea, but I real nice exploded view of the parts would be great. Thanks again for any help

 

Factory service manual or a parts book should have that. Imperial's a little different because the ****ons are vertical rather than horizontal, but it boils down to a couple of cables that shift the trans and a lot of things that can rust or have old lube dry out and get sticky.

 

I just got the one in my '62 Chrysler working, it was a cable adjustment at the transmission that was the problem, felt like you were halfway between neutral and drive or reverse all the time. Is that what yours is doing?

My ****ons were also binding up, where one would not release when the other was pressed, turned out to be a cable routing issue, if the cable has any pressure on it it'll be harder to shift, mine got re-routed around a bracket and now it works great.

The last thing you want to do is take the dash mechanism apart. Clean it and lightly oil it maybe, but that's it.

 

I don't know how different a 58 Imperial shifter is from a 62 300 but I would guess they are functionally similar.

I have a 62 shifter on my bench, I can take some close up pictures of it this evening and send them to you.

 

You might try here, scroll down to the correct year or maybe even a few years before. Good luck!
