Question transmission shifter

hello all. I am the proud owner of a 1985 ford ranger 4x4 2.8 v-6

My problem is that i need the ball that goes on the end of the shifter. It has the mitisibshi 5 speed manual transmission. I checked the local auto part stores and no luck there. Is there any place that i can find a whole new shifter at? other than that the truck is running great.

Thanks
Deron Siegel

Do you mean the ****? You should be able to find an aftermarket one. You may have to modify it a little. My 01 keeps slipping a little.

If it comes off, I am going to use the skull one that I made in high school. The eyes even light up.

"Is there any place that i can find a whole new shifter at? other than that the truck is running great. "

The shifter **** itself? If that's all you need, there's no reason to spend 200-250 bucks on a new shifter. An aftermarket hurst shifter would be around 200ish, maybe less and much nicer then a stock shifter, in my opinion. Stock replacement should be around 250 if I remember right.

Anyways, if it's just the ****, run down to a Ford dealer and order one. I believe the shift ***** out of the 80's-present mustangs should fit(?) and they should be pretty easy to find.

Good luck,

I haven't gotten into one of these yet, but you might check with a dealer. Maybe you could get it online.
