Trying to identify part name.

[mrinnis]

I can't seem to figure out a name for this part i need. From my Haynes I believe it to be called the "shift lever link" or "shift link". But when I go online to try to order the part I can't seem to track it down. It is a link right behind the transmission mount attached to what i believe to be the shift lever. Looks like all other stabilizer links. About 5-6 in long. Trying to figure out how to post a photo here...

 

Looking to replace it because it is super wobbly if you move it back and forth. I am under the impression that most links have to be pretty stiff to do the job?

Trying to designate a problem from a noise. Sounds like something heavy is bouncing around when i go over bumps. Doing the transmission mount this week. Would like to replace this at the same time. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Best bet is to use a Factory Service Manual...they're all posted at NICO...check this link. Then, you can just reference the section and page number if you can't get pics posted (do check out the New Members forum for more info.)

 

But, the link you're most likely talking about is the shift linkage on the transfer case, located behind cross member the transmission is mounted to, between the transfer case and front driveshaft u-joint. It connects the 4wd shifter to the t-case. I'm assuming you've got a 4wd.

 

Crawling under my truck, it appears to fit your description. My link is not wobbly at all FWIW.

I'll do that thanks. Your discription fits the bill. I do have a 4wd Automatic.

Thanks for the tips!
