Automatic shifter on the column help!

From the transmission through the fire wall the linkage is fine, it's just below the steering wheel where the shifter attaches, is where the problem lies. I pull back the "cup" like piece and saw a piece of metal fall and the shifter is very loose and does not make the tranny shift. I can shift the gears by the linkage in the engine compartment easily. I wonder if any one can tell me where to get the shifter gear linkage that is around the steering cloumn.

I've tried Junkyarddog.com

Regards,
--scott

I assume it's the piece that comes out of the column ?

it's inside the cab just below the steering wheel, but inside the column. It is the part hidden in side the cover and it attaches to the gear shifter

Do you mean the little collar that the shifter is attached to? If so its all one piece.. I just went to the local parts yard and pulled one off for my 73 cuz I couldnt find a similar vintage. Un fortunatley to get the little buggers off youll have to cut the wires on the turn signal cam and then solder them back together when the new one is on.

I think it only put me back like 15 bucks and yeah after that all was well. All I had to do was shoot another coat of flat black on it cuzthe paint was kinda worn.

shift collar

Ford originally called it a socket...but everyone I know calls it a shift collar. This fits below the steering wheel and the lever fits into it, the lever is held on with a roll pin. Be aware that there are upper and lower steering shaft bearings, also. bearing: basic number 3517 cup for bearing: basic number 3518. Get these too, you'll need them.

Original Ford Part number: C0DZ-7228-A

This number may have been updated, but the basic number (7228) remaines the same.

string

Note: You can pull the turn signal wires out of the plug (easy does it) tape them together with a piece of heavy string attached....pull the turn signal assy. out of the column. When you re-assemble the column, pull the string back down the column...the wires are now ready to plug back in.


This works on many car and truck applications for many years.

Attention to those users:

That promote LMC on FTE.

LMC is NOT.... I say NOT an FTE sponsor.

LMC does NOT have a Tech page for questions like FTE.

They TAKE your money..that's it..that's all they care about.

FTE has sponsor sites that SUPPORT FTE and keep this FREE site on the web.

This Forum has an OFFICIAL sponsor "Blue Oval Truck Parts"


BOTP has this part for sale as well.

http://blueovaltruckparts.com/catalo...ducts_id=11150


PLEASE Promote FTE sponsors Instead

Common sense says so
