How have you maybe the connection between the automatic C4 transmission and the Flaming River steering column with column shift? I have a few of the old linkages that im thinking were for the original column to the manual trans but cant really tell. Also the the FR column has a plastic bushing in the end of it which looks like it might brake/wear out as soon as I install it has anyone had issues with this part?

I used the linkage that WH sells, so far so good but I have less than 100 miles on the bronco.

Cool, My biggest problem is that I don't have the linkage from the rod to the trans.

I ended up machining a couple connections and installed some spherical bearings last night which worked pretty well. Still Don’t really know where the linkage is from.

It was really nice to design/machine something and not do all paper work and inspection reports I normally have to do. It fit so it must be in spec. lol. Also made myself a little steering column mount while I was at it.
