Part number help needed: shifter arm bushings

[Florian]

Good afternoon!

I want to replace the shifter arm bushings on my ´71 F100 with three on the tree. I want to replace all 4 bushings, the two upper on the column and the two lower on the shift levers on the transmission.

Are part number C5TZ-7343-A the right bushings? Can I use them on both upper and lower arms?

Here´s a link:

Maybe someone with a master parts catalogue can help me. I just ordered a copy of the catalogue on CD online, but you gotta help me one more time with this one

Thanks!

those are for the column shift arms for sure. and i dont know about the transmission shift arm bushings they are probably the same. but it should be confirmed by soemone who knows for sure.

[Florian]

I ordered two sets of them now. I´ll update this thread when they arrive and post if they also fit on the transmission shift levers.

Those bushings don´t fit on the transmission shift levers. They are a bigger size.

I couldn't find them listed separately in the MPC, and the illustrations here at Fordification don't show them.

I know they're there, but like a lot of other stuff from Ford, you may have had to buy the shifter arms with the bushings installed.

Maybe somebody else can provide better info.

The C3TZ would be closer, but from the factory, they have brass bushings in them with a washer on one side.

I'm having the same problem http://www.fordification.com/forum/view ... =4&t=60081 . Mine had rubber bushings on the transmission arms from the factory. The 2/3 bushing has deteriorated and it's hard to get it to go into second gear. No problem going into third though. I found some part numbers for nylon bushings, but not for rubber bushings.

C5TZ-7343-A is the Ford part number for the rubber bushing for the column end, I would suspect any part number with 7343 in it would be for the column end.

[fordman]

7000-7999 is for transmission and clutch.

I think 7341 is the part number for the dentside era nylon bushing, the one where the rod snaps into it.

Florian, I went to Hurst and Mr Gasket webb sites and they both list a "service kit" which Hurst list a nylon kit, but neither site gave the size of the bushings. I would think that if they had the kit for your year truck and transmission that they would naturally fit the arms on the trans. but some of the aftermarket shifters had larger than stock shift linkage. But it might be worth a call to a dealer.
