shift indicator cable

[AJ S]

is there anywhere to buy a shift indicator cable? ford wants over $70 for the whole assembly but all i need is the cable (we broke it when we took the column out). btw the junk yards around me we found 3 of them all broke.

I don't know of any commercial sales place that sells them. Perhaps on eBay if someone is parting out a truck. Take a look in the Parts for Sale section of the forum an try one of the guys parting out a truck. You can get the whole cluster or just the part that contains the cable. Try calling some of the on-line parts places like http://www.partstrain.com/ShopByVehicle/FORD?source=adwords&s_kwcid={ifcontent:ContentNetwork}{ifsearch:{keyword}}|{creative} or http://www.usedfordautoparts.com/ . Do a Google search on used ford parts.

Good luck,

As our friend, Seabronc advised, a yard $ is prob cheaper if they will pull it from a cluster or let you pull it; since we lost many yards here, the remainder are fussy about pulling small parts out of cluster or parting out a window from a door; they want the bigger $ for entire door.

91 ford bronco with a 5.0 - right? (someday fill in your profile or insert all applicable info in your Q because it does make it ezier for you to get a reply)

Shift Indicator Cable Repair in an 84 C6; "...The plastic tubing that holds the gear indicator cable is broken in several places, starting at the point where it meets the indicator housing, which removes from the rest of the cluster with two screws. I ended up removing the cable entirely (which was broken as well) and replacing it with a thin piece of wire (from a CAT5 cable, actually) that is flexible but rigid enough to not bind. I still need to find a thin enough piece of plastic line to house it before I can reattach it to the shift arm, though..."

Mine broke a couple years ago. I replaced the cable with 80# fishing line. Works great.
