Finished rebuilding my 3speed 1972 manual shifter today.

[351c1971]

Today I finished rebuilding my 3 speed 1972 manual shifter. The bare metal was painted and all moving parts were packed with Mobil1 synthetic grease. This makes it better than new.

I am using new shift rod studs and brass clutch rod bushings oh the Z bar from Auto Krafters in the rebuild . They will also ship for free if you are an Amazon Prime member.

A few final assembly notes:

• Be careful not to lose the Detent Spring. This is the conical spring on the Selector Lever Shaft.
• Also be sure the Flat Detent Spring is under the nut on the Selector Lever Shaft. This spring was left out in the 1971, 72 & 73 Ford Service Manuals. See the attached picture.
• I have not been to find a new or reproduced source for either of these springs. A word of caution, they are also not always furnished with used shifters.
