Help please A/T shift collar broke

Is there no limit to the depth of your Ford parts knowledge?

In a post a couple months old I found the D5TZ-7228-A. From your post it fits a 1977 F250 with a C6 trans, yes?

With all the gremlins that are poppin up on this truck, I'm expecting to go out to a pile of parts one morning.

Thanks

You are correct, that's the part you need.

Yeah, the D5TZ part number is for 73-77, the 78-9's take a different socket.

Pot metal shift collar has an internal bridge that connects it to shift tube. Over time the bridge begins to crack, eventually snaps off...a very common occurrence.

Mike was never a Ford parts man, he has parts catalogs, knows how to use them, but that's it.

I'm grumpy because I've lost all tolerance for stupidity...after waiting on idiots at Ford parts counters for 35 years.

Just replaced mine Monday ..... used Dorman part, seems to be made of same pot metal as original. Also, two screws holding detent plate were loose, my colar broke completely while I was taking column apart at top. I had decided if it broke out away from house, I'ld set brake tight and adjust gear position under hood.

Yesterday I wired in a bypass switch for neutral safety (parallel) and can use that until I get the new NSS tab clip thingy in mail.
