Can anyone send me or point me to a photo or schematic of the '69 auto transmission console shifter assembly? I'm starting to get the feeling that my shifter assy is not a 1969 version. Any help is greatly appreciated.

What exactly are you looking for?
If you can push the shift handle sideways, it's a '69.

I've ordered two different '69 shifter slider seals and neither will work on my shifter. So this leads me to believe I might not have a '69 shifter.

Suppose I should clarify that. Depends on what transmission you have. The TH400 (3-speed) had a ratchet type shifter. If you put the shifter down in low, then you can push the shifter handle to the right and it will upshift only one gear at a time. If i'm remembering right (which is questionable lately) the 3-speed trannys weren't available until 69. If you got a 2-speed you're out of luck.
I'll look if I have a pic of the top of the shifter.
here's a pic of the top.

Thanks for clarifying that Lee, but makes me wonder about mine. I have the 69 shifter and had a Th400 that the car came with but recently changed the transmission out to a 2004R, but I dont ever recall being able to push the shift handle to the right and upshifting one gear at a time....interesting, I guess i will have to check that out...lol Learn something everyday!

I am wondering if we have the same problem. My 400 tranny does not have the inset to mount the shifter seal in. My transmission guy said he has never seen one before that did not have a place to install the seal. Did any anyone ever see one of these with the seal inside the case?

3-speed Turbo-hydromatic 400's were available in '67 and '68, usually behind a 400 V8.
The ratchet shifter was somewhat unique.
2012 Mustang Boss 302 #1918, Competition Orange. FGF replacement
2006 Mustang V6 Pony, Vista Blue. Factory ordered.
2019 BMW X3 (Titled to the wife, but I'm always driving it for her. So I'm claiming it)
Old projects, gone but not forgotten:
1967 FB 400, original CA car. After 22 years of work, trashed by the guy who was supposed to paint it. I had to sell it.
1980 Turbo Trans Am
1970 Mustang fastback, 351C 4Bbl, auto
1988 Mustang GT, 5 speed
1983 F-150 4x4, built 302
1994 Chevy K2500 HD 4x4, 454 TBI

Yup, I was wrong on that.  Must have been thinking something else. (I don't know the '67's & '68's as well as the '69's)
