My son...in his infinite wisdom broke the collar that connects the trans to the transfer case. Broke it right in half!!! He says he wasn't beating on it, but I think otherwise. The amazing thing is he was able to limp it home. At least he saved a tow bill.


Well, I have it apart and now I being told that Ford no longer make the part?!?! Does anyone know where I might find one? Is there an aftermarket replacement that I can use?? Any help would be appreciated.


BTW...it's a 2001 F-150 with the 5.4 Triton.

 

Auto wrecker for a used one
Maybe a local transmission shop might have a used
one laying around.
Good luck
I am not sure what you mean by a collar?

 

You mean he broke the housing between the trans and transfer case?

 

You can buy them at Home - Transtar Industries. Your local auto parts store might be able to get it, too.

 

Yup!!! I suspect that it has been cracked and just gave up the other night. Too much time traveling the beaches I guess. Wheel hop is bad on driveline parts, and I guess he found the weak link!!!

 

You're lucky, mine broke the tail housing of the transmission.
