HX & HZ Statesmans with a TH400 also used the cable shift. You might be able to procure the correct linkage bits 2nd hand or modify the ones you have currently.

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

Cable shift it the easy option. The gearbox end (certainly for the B&M etc shifters) with just bolt patterns possibly a little different. The gear selector lever on the gearbox should be a straight swap, then it is a case of getting the cable bracket bolted onto the 400 trans pan.

Ebay?..Wouldnt a B&M one work?.. I put a t400 in my HQ van but used a linkage shifter.Incidentally I also had a trimatic shifter(passenger side linkage)and they looked the same (side by side)but I still went with the one I got with the box.
