Question about linkage from trans to column. 1971 cutlass

[AMSOILGUY]

I forgot to specify its a 4 speed car. Which transmission did that come from? My dad thinks there is a bracket that is bolted to the frame(holes in the location) from which a spring goes to the linkage? For whatever reason I can't find an illustration in the manual. I would greatly appreciate a picture of your manual.
Thanks,
Jacob

Automatic trans. The 4 speed lockout mechanisms are repop'd and you can find them on eBay:

4 speed looks like this. Look for other A bodies for pics and parts.

All the parts are available from Inline tube. Page 114 in the Oldsmobile catalog. You will need to tweak a few things to get it all working properly. They have really nice restoration parts. You use the automatic linkages to get the column to attach to the manual transmission. Its called a Backdrive linkage to help you search it online.

Thanks for all the pictures. I will check out the inline tube site.
