What broke was the detent piece on the backside of the selector housing. It broke off and wedged itself. Problem is that it's obsolete. The shift collar is in excellent shape. Any suggestions of an outfit that reproduces these?
Part #D4TA-3511-DWA.
Thanks
D2TZ-7A216-A Insert (detent) Transmission control
D3TZ-3511-D Flange, Upper Steering Column
Flange fits 1973-77 all with A/T
Detent fits all 1970 thru 1977
The flange does NOT come with the detent, unless you buy the flange used.
75short S/C,
Did you have your dealer do a nationwide search for an NOS?
The dealer I use found NOS steering parts for my 77HB in the midwest, twice. Steering shaft-column to gear, ram assist seal kit & control valve rebuild kit.

I've already tried the junk yards around this area, including Tony's Ford Truck Parts in Portland and the chrome shift levers that I found were as bad or worse than what I have. The dealer said that it was no longer stocked, so I;ll do what ever I guess I need to do in repairing this part. I'm sure that I'm not the only one to run into this problem.
Have you looked for the levers out of the Econline van as well as the Bronco or just trucks? Some of the older cars like the Lincoln may have even used a similar lever if not the same. Most of the parts will interchange with little or no modification.

I put the part number on the Ford locator and found one dealership that shows the part # D3TZ 7210 C in stock. According to the locator their inventory was updated on 1/16/07 so there is a decent chance they will have the part.

fordpartsguy,
Cannot find the D2TZ-7A216-A Detent. Locator shows none. Can't find it in the re-pro outfits either. Any suggestions? I would make one but can't find the other half of the original.
slstreit,
No luck on the Ford locator but Green Sales in Cincinnati, Ohio shows (1) D2TZ 7A216 A detent in stock.
