Shift linkage Grommet Reply #4 – July 01, 2008, 08:28:44 AM If you're looking for the grommet for the tv cable, that connects to the underside the throttle body, you can get them from ford. They're white plastic and come two in a bag, I've never seen them in brass before. Ford also makes blue and orange grommets, but a little bigger and fit the transmission linkage. The grommets cost about $3.00 each. Quote Selected
