Audrey's 1965 Barracuda project

Engine and transmission together again, last time was 40 years ago,
I built the stand for my e-bodies, but it fits this one also, gonna weld up an adjustable tranny support.

-65 904 Tranny, not used to the wires, my newer transmissions have rods.
I can feel the gear change switch if I move the front wire but what is the rear wire for?
The one with tape on.
