Also, Could you give me a quick run through of how I am going to install this? or point me to a video that I can watch? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 There is an E clip on the end of the pin. A screwdriver blade can dislodge it. Try to save it in case you loose the other. Push pin through, shifter lifts up and out. Knock the 'cup' bushing off the bottom. To install the new cup, dab of grease, set on surface and push shifter down firmly into it. It clicks into place. Grease the two side bushings so they will stick in place, slip the spring in. I guess you will want the hole for the pin to the top with spring beneath to give the shortest throw. It's a little tricky to get the cup bushing down and into the striker rod receiving hole. On the odd chance the length is maxed, out flip the side bushings and place the spring to the top? Install pin and clip. The E clip is the hardest thing to do. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'll get back on Tuesday night when it is all said and done. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted October 24, 2021 Report Share Posted October 24, 2021 Very small screw driver and a pair of small needle nose pliers.... and a tarp under the truck to catch it when it goes ping! Quote Link to comment
Logical1 Posted October 24, 2021 Report Share Posted October 24, 2021 Stick a magnet right next to it when you push it off with the screwdriver, will suck right to the magnet and not fly away. 1 Quote Link to comment

Is there a good site that I can buy the proper parts? Quote Link to comment

Stinky Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 It looks like you need a floor boot. I have no idea of where you'd get one. Quote Link to comment

You probably have this style in the '80. They also come in brass that won't wear out. Plastic will last for a long tiime... You might have this (left side) style but I think on the later trucks. There is a small spring that may not come with it. The sides are much larger and less likely to wear out. I've lost track of which shifter you are going to use. If the ones on the right use the kit in the very top picture. If the shifter on the left above, then the replacement parts are shown just below it with the spring. Quote Link to comment

That would work on an early shifter but only one bushing is shown, you'll need two and this doesn't include the cup for the ball on the bottom of the shifter.

I only need the two pieces. I know the link only shows 1. I planned on buying two of them. Quote Link to comment
