I am looking at purchasing a 77 Monte Carlo for my son. Only problem that I have found is that the gear display does not work. I can count 4 for drive, one reverse,etc. Guy tells me that it is simply a cable that needs to be reconnected. I do not know. Is this possibly the problem? I just don't want to be looking at a transmission problem or something. But the shifting seems fine.

 

is this gear selector on the column or on the floor?

 

If on the column this video may help

 

That did help. Thank you!

 

Great!! I had it happen on my 84 before I moved the shifter to the floor.
