I am having trouble finding parts for my 95 f150 4.9l 4x4: shift rod spring seat also called shift detent spring seat. and the springs they sit into.
i need these parts because some idiots were messing with the shifter when i was working on my truck in school. so it got stuck in 4th gear. i took off the top case of the trans, and noticed the 3rd and 4th fork was hard to slide. after i removed the bars i noticed the middle seat was stuck down somehow so i had to drill it out. that is why i need those parts. i found a place to buy both forks but not the 3 spring and seats. please help!

here is an idea what i need. numbers 77,79

I googled it. looks like its refered to spring and detent ball?. could not find any numbers. may have to look junk yards. It should be the same part on 2wd and 4wd.

 

I got all the ***** but there are coned like seats that sit on top of the spring where the bar slides on. The thing is if i go to a junk yard they probably wont let me just take the top casing and the components with it. so i really dont wanna buy a used trans if i can buy the parts online.

 

Call around. You'd be surprised. A lot of the pick and pull's around here will let you take only what you need.

 

Ok thanks for your time ill try.

 

I really doubt that you will be able to get these parts anywhere other than a junkyard. Dealer included.

 

Check out southwestgear and allstategear. Call them up

 

Well i called up southwestgear and they said that they dont make the seat anymore. allstategear i couldnt find any parts.
