Pullstart 59,733 #1 Posted November 18, 2023 I’m sorting through my Suburbans. Looking at differences, similarities, etc. one has a straight shifter. A quick search tells me 701/702? Were those the only models that had a straight rod to begin with? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob J. 1,940 #3 Posted November 19, 2023 Yep my 701 has the HY-2 kit and it looks as if at some point someone cut the shifter in half and welded back at an angle. Whoever did it did a good job. May have been a dealer done deal IDK.?. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
