4wd disconnected itself from transmission

[Ekal]

So I was driving my bronco and recently I've been hearing a rattling coming from down by my transmission. At first I thought it was my shifter but after grabbing the 4wd knob the entire thing was just loose. After looking under my bronco there seems to be a bolt that has come out of the assembly and there is a little for that's supposed to move a pin but that has also moved out of place. I know I have dropped a part or two and I don't know what they are or what they look like so if anyone knows it would be much appreciated.

I don't have a photographic memory... or recent enough experience with the linkage to be much of a help.

Try a junk yard that has a manual shift BII or ranger and have a look at it... buy what you need. Or maybe stop by the Ford dealer parts department and ask to see an exploded view and parts list for what you're missing.

It appears you have lost the large center bolt and the plastic bushing that moves the shift lever. I’ve included a photo. Note the plastic bushing is broken on mine. Not sure where you would find another. There is also a procedure to adjust the unit when installing to ensure your selection is accurate.

A little research and I found this. The bushing for the shift lever.
