That part only comes with the entire shifter. It's easy to fix though. Put the whole linkage rod in a vise, take a grinder and completely grind off the stud flat to the linkage rod. Drill and tap the rod and install a 5/16'' piece of all thread. Loctite it in and use a new 5/16'' nut when reinstalling the rod to the transmission.

 

I'll try that this week, but if that fails does anyone know where i could order one up?

 

Hate to say it but as stated before ford only sells them with the shifter as a whole unite. Get this, ford wanted $300 for the stock shifter when i just needed the shift linkage. :no

You best bet is to call your local junkyard

 

Mine did the same thing when I put my triax on...lucky for me it was still under warranty and the dealer hooked me up with a new shifter.

 

how did you tell them that you broke it, or what did you say/do to get it replaced?

 

wouldn't a new STS be a fix? i dunno what all comes with them...

 

Nope.

Anthony is exactly right. I broke mine a couple of months earlier as well. I did the same thing Anthony said to do. NewTakeOff.com has factory shifters for $50 with the linkage.

 

i'll just go ahead and say...burnin fail. lols

 

+1 to Nasty, here's your new best friend.

 

had that problem when i changed my shifter from B&M to Hurst, snapped the thread off, had to buy a whole new stock shifter, $400, just to get the new linkage.

with that said, I wish they had this website up when I broke it, I would have saved $200 but here ya go bro

Mustang GT Shift Linkage 2005-2008 Manual Transmission

 

Hey look! A tumbleweed!

Mustang GT Shift Linkage 2005-2008 Manual Transmission

I don't think the GT and V6 have the same transmission. unfortunately I could only afford the V6. In the picture there seems to be a bend in the linkage but on my it's a straight hunk of metal

 

you have a V6??

and also the linkage's are the same on V6s and GTs, they're not a straight design, there is a bend in them. the bend is the connected to transmission end

 

You are correct icon. The GT and V6 S197 do not share the same manual transmission. They do however share the same automatic, the 5R55S.

The manual GT carries the Tremec 3650.

The manual V6 carries the Tremec T-5.

 

I dont know if it helps you any. But I have a stock shifter for an S197 sitting in my garage.

 

if it includes the linkage part that i broke, i may buy it (after i go to the dealer to see if they will warranty it)

 

^The Man

 

It should. I will look when I get home tonight and make sure. If it is just toss me a couple bucks to cover shipping and its yours.

 

Why would you have a used shifter with the linkage rod too? Did you switch to automatic?

 

From when I built my 06 then sold it. Have alot of the stock parts laying around.

 

What Anthony is saying is that short throw shifters don't replace the linkage.

 

Yeah, I was asking because when you replace the stocker with an aftermarket short throw shifter the linkage rod is always reused. I have like 3 or 4 stock shifters here and none of them have the linkage rod. Either way, it's about a 15-20 minute fix when the studs break off.

 

Yeah I guess thats true. Totally forgot about that.

 

I'm not sure if you've found one yet, but it looks like newtakeoff.com has them for about $ 50...

 

@menace07
thats for the GT linkage, mines not bent, it's just a straight line. I'm going tos ee if warranty covers it this weekend.

 

doubt it, but good luck anyways

 

you can get a new one at OEM Parts & OEM Wheels - Original Equipment Parts from NewTakeOff

I ordered one when I stripped the threads when I replaced my shifter.

 

We'll verdict is........ Covered under warranty. Thanks for all the help

 

what did you tell them?
