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.
