I am looking for a solution to what I understand is a common problem, the linkage dropping on a 1.8l Escort GT causing very sloppy shifting. What do I need to replace? And... where can I find it? I've browsed the pages in Tech and Repair, but there are over a hundred of them. Can someone provide links to parts and/or solutions?

Not positive but im sure its a sticky somewhere. Never had the problem myself so idk. I think it would be easier to just get a whole new shift linkage/shifter from the junkyard.

some people have had luck using a couple screws to hold it in place, I used a coat hanger on my old 92 LTS when it dropped.

Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement shift linkage and bushings?
