T56 Plastic Shifter Bushing, where to buy?

[Flatliner]

I spoke with a few of you one night at Strat's about this and of course I forgot what you said

Anybody know where I can buy the little plastic bushing in the T56 where the ball of the shifter fits into locally in Elk Grove or Streamwood area? I went to A/H Ford and after looking at multiple schematics the fuggers aren't listed in there system, what a waste of time.

Thanks in advance!

Why wouldn't you want the bronze replacement?

I have a used plastic one, if you need it RIGHT F'ING NOW.

Hmmm... ok, see I didn't know there was a bronze one! Where can I get one of those?? I don't need it now right now as my car has been sitting for the most part...

RPM will probably sell you one. Mine came with the trans.

Thanks for the 411! As I read through some of the descriptions of upgrades, it sounds like I may have broken a synchronizer key as this is what happens when I shift hard now. If I shift normal and hesitate the shifter, I have no issues, down shifting is a no no... grrrrrrrrrrrrrind.

Solid Synchronizer Keys - These keys are a necessity for the T56 transmissions. The stamped steel keys commonly break when shifting aggressively. When they do break, they usually lock the transmission into a gear or make the transmission very hard to shift.

You went to a Ford dealer and they couldnt set you up with a damn bushing that is commom to replace?? Some of these dealers need to hire part guy's who dont deliver pizzas on the weekends.

Seriously... I was thinking the same thing. I couldn't believe it either.
