missing linkage bushings p/n's

April 12, 2010, 11:41:39 PM

Hey guys some of you read the other day when I was all worried about losing my tranny, but it turned out to be really nasty fluid. Well, in the process of working that out, I inspected my linkage for my shifter and for my tv kickdown, and got a surprise. Turns out both are missing some sort of bushings or washers of some sort. If you look at the first picture below, the blue arrow is pointing to the bolt in the side of the trans where this tv cable pivots. I temporarily rigged a few washers in there to hold it tight and upright, but I have no idea what actually belongs in there. On the other two pics, the blue arrows are the shifter linkage pivot rod and the green is the homemade bushing I temporarily fixed it with. I've always had a lot of play in my shifter but I thought it was something loose in the shaft or what have you, until I disvovered this. There seemed to be a rubber bushing there and on the othere side where it bolts to the shifter. I have called up AZ and they have nothing at all in the way of external transmission parts at all. I looked up on rockauto.com and they had a few that sounded like they might be what I want, but they had no picture or description of what it really was, I got some p/n's though - B7A7059A, E0AZ7F330A, E0BZ7341B, and 99076. I know some of you guys have massive p/n books, and I was just wondering if you guys could look them up and see if that seems to be right and I'll probably try getting them from ford. Also, if you guys know what those couple of bushing/spacers are *actually called and where to get them* that would be fantastic. thx a lot.

I remember the bushings going bad on the TV cable linkage back when I had my AOD.I went to the hardware store and bought some brass bushings and rebuilt it from scratch,greased it up,and never had any issues after that.

I had the bushings go by by like you have in that first picture of the TV bell crank/pivot. I ended up using two plastic brake washers as bushings and it worked fine for years. The guy who just rebuilt my AOD used a bushing in there. I have no idea where he got it but he does run a trans shop;)

awewome thx yeah thats one of the ones I listed above, I will definitely be checking it out, cause the method I used has been sticking causing my tv to not retract fully which is basically what it was doing before I put them on...:wtf:
