APPERFiT Steering Column Shift Tube Assembly for Ford E/F-Series & SUVs — Includes Plunger, Bushings & Clamps

APPERFiT Steering Column Shifter Tube with Plunger, Bushings and Clamps is a complete OEM-fit replacement kit for worn or damaged steering column shift tubes on many Ford, Lincoln and Mercury trucks, vans and SUVs.

If your column-mounted gear selector feels loose, binds, or shows visible cracks, replacing the shift tube assembly restores firm shifting feel and correct alignment under the dash. This new APPERFiT kit includes the shift tube, shift shaft rod, two plastic bushings, two metal clamps and four screws, engineered to match factory dimensions and mounting points for straightforward installation.

How will this part improve my vehicle's shifting feel?

Worn or cracked shift tubes let the shift lever move with excessive play and can cause imprecise gear selection. Installing this OEM-compatible assembly tightens the linkage and returns a solid, predictable shift action at the column.
