4x4 trouble...transfer case shift linkage
soo i have a 1994 f150 4.9 4x4 that i got for $800. at first it was great except for it would not shift into 4 low (4 high at the time worked fine). one of my friends...attempting to be a good bud decided that he could fix the problem by "forcing it" nuff saidso i find myself searching for the shift linkage that goes from the floor shifter to the case...where can i find it? junkyards dont have it and ford wants $300thanks,mike

Can you oil the linkage? I had an 89 that did the same thing. Years of Mud dried out every connection. Use something better than WD40. That will just wash away the first time it gets wet.
Good luck dude!

I was able to TIG mine back together, and I added some reinforcing plates as well. Took the whole thing apart, bead blasted it, greased the crap out of it, and reassembled. So far so good.

That piece is nothing more than a flat par with 2 holes. Is everything still intact or are you just missing the bushings?
Dealer has the bushings for about $24 for the pair...I just replaced mine a few weeks ago.

Do you happen to have a part number for these bushings? The dealer I went to says they are unavailable

Like Bob said, grease the crap out of it and it should work again...if you have it repaired vs. buying a new one.

Before you install your new one, take a look at this to keep it from happening again.

BTW, Ford maintenance schedule says to lubricate the transfer case linkage every 15,000 miles. I happen to grease it up abpout every second or third time Im under the truck - which happens to be about 2-3 times per month!! You can't lube it too much, after all!
