I am doing a A518 transmission swap into my Challenger. I need a shift/arm lever from a 727. My question is there a specific lever for the E bodies. I have seen a couple of different ones, just need to know which one to use. The pictured is from a listing on eBay, so does it look like the correct one?

It looks like the correct one. Here is mine, you will have to zoom in to see it better. You will also need the kick down lever too.
Thanks, I think that is the right one after enlarging it. Also, I plan on using the Bouchillon kit down cable kit, which includes the kick down lever.

That picture is a standard 727, not a A-518 . The difference in the transmissions is the tail housing on the 518 is where the o/d is located.

Understood, I need the 727 arm to mate up with my SlapStick linkage. The 518 arms will not work since they designed for a cable operated column shift, and the ratio is wrong. Since the 518 is a 727 with the an overdrive, the 727 arm will work on the 518. At least that is the information I have found from the people that have done this before me.

I didn't say that it was an A-518

Sorry. He asked about the 5-18 and I misread your response as "here's mine". I thought you meant 518 not a 727.
