    72 Maverick
    Hello all,
    I'm a proud owner of a 1972 Maverick with 225000 miles on it. The Maverick is my daily driver and I have a small problem. The shifter collar broke on my way to work a few days ago. It is a three speed on the column and I would like to keep it that way. Any help in finding parts would be greatly appreciated.

    Sounds like he's got a "stick" and your column parts list shows only automatics?

    Welcome.

    I have a column from a 69.5-70. Would this collar work on a 72?

    PM me if interested.
