Need part

[Rick46]

I need a bushing for my transfer case on my '85 Bronco II. It's a plastic bushing that goes in the forked end of the control lever and slides over the transfer case shift lever pin. The part number might be 7G035. Does anybody have one that you would sell or maybe know of somebody who reproduces it? Thanks for the help.

I am trying to picture what you are talking about, but have very little knowledge in that area...I am sure somebody will have an answer for you! :icon_thumby:

By the way......Welcome to TRS!!! :icon_cheers:

Picture

Hope I'm doing this right. If it works, you'll have a picture of the part I need.

Thanks in advance for the help!

I will check around tomm. & see if I can come up with anything. Maybe somebody will be able to help you out sooner.

Appreciate the help

The disintegrated bushing has been replaced with a make-shift one and it is working for now but I'd like to have the "real" bushing on hand. So no big hurry. At least I can still four wheel it.

I take it Ford doesn't make it anymore? I need to replace the bushing on my case as well. Tired of the sloppy shift lever.

Part

According to the shop who was rebuilding my A4LD, they said Ford told them it was no longer in production. That doesn't surprise me since it's 24 years old now. But, I didn't check with Ford myself. It wouldn't be hard to make if you had a stick of nylon and a small lathe but I don't have either one.

I ran short of time today & haven't been able to check around as much as I would like, so far I haven't figured anything out. :icon_confused:

"It wouldn't be hard to make if you had a stick of nylon and a small lathe but I don't have either one."

I do.

If enough people need these, and it's not too difficult, I could probably whip up a few. Would Delrin work?
Dimensions?

Easy to make

I'm not a plastics expert by any stretch but I imagine any hard, slippery plastic would work. The outside diameter is not critical. The groove would have to cut so the bushing could slide back and forth in the fork without slop and the center hole could probably be drilled to slide fit on the shifting pin. If you have a spare transfer case laying around the dimensions would be easy to get. If you could make them, I think you have an order for two right now.

I sure as heck ain't having no luck finding any :icon_confused:

I may end up needing a couple at some point myself! :icon_surprised:

I may have one around (if I can find it) PM me with your address and I'll see what I can do.

Bushing

Were you able to locate that bushing? I sent you a couple PM's.

I need that bushing too. So that's 3 of us.

i'd take a couple if the price wasnt that high

Ok it has been a while since I have seen one of these or used a T-case. But if I remeber right the bushing had a round out side as in the pic. but the bushing it self has a square center that fits between the forks. Hope this helps who ever want to make a new one.

 

[Rick46]

Here's my idea of how to make it. It would take three operations on the lathe: drill the center hole, cut the groove on the edge and cut off the part. You just need to measure a fork and pin. Nothing really precision here. The outside diameter is the stock size, no need to turn it. My truck is still in the transmission shop trying to find the leak.
