Had it towed by AAA couple a years ago, driver pulled it out of park on the tilted bed. Need I say more. Been researching, sent Numberdummy a PM just figured I follow up with a post as well. Anyone know if this Dorman 83242 part is a match ? Says 73-77 but looks correct to me.

Thanks in advance, been a while sorry for the reclusiveness. Havent had a lot of reason to be on here. Trying to change that.

Cheers, Bobby

 

Original 1965/72 A/T collar had the shift pointer made as part of it. Ford replaced it in 1973 with a collar that uses a separate shift dial pointer.

This new collar has a slot in it for the plastic shift dial pointer to fit into.

D5TZ-7228-A (replaced C5TZ-7228-A, C9TZ-7228-A, D3TZ-7228-A) .. A/T Shift Collar Kit - Includes D3TZ-7A110-A Plastic Shift Dial Pointer / Obsolete ~ Available NOS & from auto parts stores (Dorman).

1965/77 F100/350 / 1973/77 Bronco // 1965 Falcon/Comet/Fairlane.

Shift dial pointer shown as 7A110 in parts catalog pic at upper left. Notice slot in the collar (7228) for the pointer to slide into.

 

The Dorman kit does fit. Also comes with a pointer, spring and shear pin. Fits pretty tight compared to old one but expected. 34.00 on amazon/ebay etc.. 4 days delivery
