622 nss 63 tilt

[Kim K Kaiser]

Previously, i mentioned the  bu lights didnt work, and conversatiin went to nss.   Mine has the two jumped wire bypass so car will go in drive/start.

Got the switch out and the outer tract plastic is broken so the part that moves thru the arc moves around loosely, so im guessing this is reason for nonfunction.  So with damage as shown in pictures, what are options.

Mine is 622.  I saw a 560 i believe for that year, and by photo, they look identical.   Some for sale on ebay for comparison and these things are expensive!

So, again, given the damage as displayed.  What woukd best option?

Simcerely

You can fix that. I just repaired my 622 NSS. 

I went to the dollar store bought a cheap putty knife cut it to fit the whole area bent it in to shape then applied JB weld to it and filled the void. Sanded smooth and level with the original opening. its strong and will not break.

There is a how to repair the NSS in the help section. That's where I got the tips from.

I got the part apart.  And was trying to correlate the help section pictyre to my specific part.

Did yall cut the putty spreader piece to overlay the original semi circular track.   On my part model it looks like if thats the, it will sit higher on the column.  That wont affect its function? Or am i not seeing the photograh correctly

That’s what I did. Overlaid it on the nss. The additional height did not mess with alignment on the column.

I was going to get into redoing this nss. And noticed the case was cracked.  Shoukd i just try tosuper glue or jb weld the case back.  Or is a cracked case going to be an ongoing problem with the shifter piece going back n forth
