C4 shift selector

I bought a C4 to replace my 3 speed last year and finally got around to installing last weekend. I noticed the PO had cut the shift selector off??? Any idea where I can find a replacement that the neutral safety switch will work with?

Have a picture of that? Sounds odd.

The selector lever is unique to Broncos I think.

I was afraid of that. Do you think the truck C4 would be close enough with a little modification to the shift linkage?

PM Viperwolf on here the PO welded my shift lever in a funky way so he could use a stock 3 speed manual column to shift it....... All the way down was park, and all the way up was 3rd... Anyway I was able to send it to him and he had some extra parts that he used to reweld it up correctly.

Plus when you lose the NSS you lose back up light switch. That was super annoying when I had a C4 with a Lokar shifter.

The problem with all aftermarket levers is they take up the space used for the neutral safety switch.

I can repair the lever so the neutral safety switch is retained as well as the stock C4 shift linkage.
I had the same issue, P.O. cut off the stock shifter lever for a hurst setup. I want to go back to a stock setup, the picture you posted is the part I need, any idea of the part number for it or whom sells it? Thanks!

There are really 3 pieces there. The stud is an original Ford part and last time I looked, could be found, used, at Tom's.

The shaft is an original Ford part and is not reproduced. You would need to find one if you don't have one. There were several different versions. For an original Bronco C4 you need a late (1970+) C4 shaft with NSS grooves.

I reproduce the lever. It has to be clocked correctly to the shaft though. If you send me the correct shaft (doesn't matter if it has a lever or not attached) I can attach the new lever in the correct position. PM me for details.

I had a small number of levers made about 10 years ago and it took about that long to use them. I wasn't going to have more made. I was down to the last 2 when some ja**a$$ in AZ contacted me, bought the last ones and said he really needed a bunch of them. So I had new levers made ($). Now the guy in AZ has ghosted me. So I imagine he either just copied my lever fix or was just full of crap. Anyway, I'm not fixing any more levers for him and I have a bunch to get rid of.

Hey Viper- New to the forum and I can’t figure out how to send a PM yet…Would you happen to still have a shift selector available? Thank you!
