Shift Lever Bushing - Broken, Please Help !

Post by bronco4x4 »

84 Bronco II 5speed

Shift lever spins 360 degrees freely and lifts from lever socket freely. Open up the case and found this bushing sitting in the transmission. I fished it out, looks broken in half, but really I don't know if there was more to this part to begin with.

So....what is it? Where can I buy one? And is there more missing here? Pictures attached.

I don't even know how it's supposed to line up and work, since I don't have a correctly assembled shift lever assembly to go by, and no junkyards around here.

The only thing I could find as a replacement, was a $207 complete shifter assembly on ebay. The auto parts store had no idea, and every ford parts website I found has no matching part, even rockauto couldn't help me.

It's not in my Haynes manual at all.

Your going to have to get the whole assy. When the TK first came out they had a white one and they recalled that one for the black assy. You might want to try the Junk Yard and remember that Rangers came with these also. I don't know anyone who sell them reproduction, someone here might.

Could I potentially JB Weld my bushing and press it back on? At least to get me to a junkyard? haha. It's 50 miles away. I put JB Weld on it last night and it's on the clamp now. So I'm going to find out.

Also; I can't find a diagram of the shifter assembly. Anyone got one? Seems like I'm missing a bushing spring that sits above it there. But I didn't find one in the transmission with the other pieces that broke off.
