Tired of snapping the shift linkage it and rewelding. Can I find just the transmission to shifter piece? Can't seem to find it online.

Also I tore my stock UCA bushing bad, it causes a terrible on and off thumping and causes the rearend to rotate forward. What aftermarket Assembly do you recommend for High horse power but light drag mostly street?

I don't think Ford sells the parts to the shifter separately.

As to a UCA - Steeda makes a nice Street/Strip unit. I'm sure BMR must as well.

Seems like Everyone used to go to New Take off for the linkage but they arent offering them anymore... Looks like i will have to drill out, tap and thread a stud through. Thanks for you input...

How do you keep snapping that piece?

Snapped it once when I was putting my shifter back in and now it loves to just keep breaking on me. Would really love to find a new one but it seems pretty impossible...

Damn that sucks, just sold one I had last month. (came with a shifter I bought off someone here)
You're only supposed to torque that nut to like 8lbs or something just squeeze it and add red locktite, for some reason everyone turns the plastic bushings into mushrooms.

I use BMR stuff on all of the S197 platforms that I work on.

Still lookin for a stock one let me know. May end up drilling it out and threading a stud through if I can't find one.

I looked and I don't have one. I thought Bobby said he had you covered.
