shifter collar opinions

[rdaniel911]

Any one with expericane on the different shift collars offered by the vendors. It seems there is a lot of difference in some pricing but they all look the same.

Which shift collar do you need?

[rdaniel911]

for a three speed column shift, sorry forgot to be more specific, am at work and got distracted.

Why not just buy NOS, instead of aftermarket?

Thanks for taking the time to produce a list of vendors !

This is what makes FORDification THE BOMB !

[rdaniel911]

Thanks for the list, I thought of buying NOS, and have found a couple, but having been around these trucks all my life, I know even the original's tend to wear where the shifter pin goes through it, I didn't know if someone had produced a better one or if NOS was still the best available.

[fordman]

chinese or NOS? i dont know.

[cdeal28078]

Yeah, kind of figure NOS is better there. Mine lasted for around 300,000 miles before I went to an automatic. It was still in perfect working order when I removed it. Wonder how many times that thing had made it motions? I shifted pretty easy though. My dad, who gave me the truck was a truck driver and he taught me to drive it pretty easy on the mechanics

I got lucky, got a NOS one in it's original box with the hardware for $25 on Ebay. Now for the mirrors and hood letters.
