OK numbers calm down. there are 2 bushings of the same type; one on the transmission itself and one on the bell crank as well as one of the same on the steering column. these are all part of that bell crank apparatus and seem to call for the same bushing. The bell crank itself is supported on either end by a DIFFERENT (larger) Rubber-type grommet/bushing. qty 2. One end goes in a bracket at the bolt holes in the driver frame rail used for either clutch bell crank (manual) or shift bell crank (auto) and the other bushing is attached to 2 threaded holes in the automatic bell housing and these support the bell crank itself on either end. These bushings are of similar design but larger in size and are pressed into a hole in the bracket on the frame or the bracket on the bell housing.

Here's the pic, the only bushings shown are 7341 and both are the same (EOSZ-7341-B). So where the hell are these other bushings you are referring to?
Geez Louise! You can lead a mule to water, but you cannot make it drink!
Where did Cougar2 get that pic? It's WRONG! There is no .. repeat no 7C324 listed for Cougar2's truck, none!
And, E1FZ-7F330-A is the WRONG bushing. This is for a 1981/89 Escort/Lynx.
I listed the correct part number several times.
This Mule got the picture from you in Post 21 and the part number is from post 1 and 3 of this thread. It confirmed from another location I got the number from and I did understand that the picture was not correct, but was the best one available for example when I went to the dealership. If I got the wrong parts, I will continue on looking to see what I can find, since like you said, the info is not available. I do appreciate your time in answering questions.

7341 is a different shaft in question and the reason I went with the shaft below that one, #7A185. That number points to the shaft that I am inquiring about since the picture does not show the bushing, but points to the shaft that is in need of attention.

I gave you the correct part number (EOSZ-7341-B) several times and listed in it other posts in this thread.
So why the hell did you give the dealer the wrong part number that some clueless person listed?
Cougar and I are both looking for same thing. 7c431 has a bushing supporting 7a185 that goes bad. 7a185 is the part in question. Part number? It has a bushing. maybe never sold seperate, maybe only sold as component. the bushing houses the end of the bell crank. part number for 7c431 as well as 7a185 please.
numbers (bill) gave the proper bushing, I have installed them many times, but for a different location. HIS bushing actually goes ON the bell crank, and ON the shift rod. WE NEED A BUSHING FOR WHERE THE BELLCRANK PIVOTS!!! THIS BUSHING THE BELL CRANK PASSES THROUGH IT.

Precisely! and I think I may have found the part. Went to the dealership and yes, NumbersDummy was right, the part number I gave them was totally wrong with a shaft size way to small. We looked on the microfiche and also computers to find that 1980 may have had the same part/bushings used on the bell crank. They used a dark blue bushing, part number EOSZ7341B with an ID of 3/8 x 1/2 long x 15/32 OD x 11/16. They come in a pack of 4. I will be checking the bell crank shaft size tonight to see if it is 3/8 and if so, we have a winner!! I will keep you posted.
that is it. How do we convert that to part number? and search. Thanks.
I can't help with the part number conversion but like you said above, it may have been part of a component package. Maybe ND can help with that.
It's been quite a while since I've had an A/T truck but I'm pretty sure I have these parts in the shop. I'll hunt them down & re-familiarize myself, but I'm thinking that the bell crank is pressed into either the frame bracket or bracket #7C413 that mounts to the side of the transmission...I can't remember.
It's the WRONGBUSHING! Someone else came up with it, see post 26. I told him he was wrong and now I'm telling you.
The only trucks that used this EOSZ-7C327-B (replaced D5AZ-7C327-A & EOSZ-7C327-A) bushing: 1973/76 F100 4WD
The thing is, I posted the pic twice and you don't see a bushing besides EOSZ-7341-B .. More than likely it was only serviced with the bellcrank.
See EOSZ-7C327-B (replaced A) applications in parts catalog pic below.
You may very well be right about this part only being available, through replacing the whole bell crank. After looking at this last night, The bushing/washer is a totally different animal on the outer bell crank bracket. I didn't get the thing off totally and will blow off the bolts today to get the thing on the work bench. I will take pictures of this and post them laster. Since the part isn't available, it may be up to every individual to come up with a solution for the problem part. That said, It may be a good part to reproduce.
One end goes in a bracket at the bolt holes in the driver frame rail used for either clutch bell crank (manual) or shift bell crank (auto) and the other bushing is attached to 2 threaded holes in the automatic bell housing and these support the bell crank itself on either end. These bushings are of similar design but larger in size and are pressed into a hole in the bracket on the frame or the bracket on the bell housing.
