Guest 58_edsel_ranger Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I am in need of a 3 speed manual shift collar and shift lever. We bought a 58 Edsel and have about $4,500 wrapped up in it and it is just a garage ornament. If anyone knows where a 58 Edsel is with a column shifter please let me know ASAP. We are not rich and we spent almost all our money getting the car and towing it home. I would pay someone a little to go to a local junk yard, pull one, and ship it to me. We can shift from reverse to first but 2nd is almost impossible to get to. I need the whole collar and lever. Any help would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89REATTAJIM Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I would assume that these parts would be available on Fords and/or Mercurys of the same era. Good luck.... Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 58_edsel_ranger Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Thanks, that's what we are looking into right now. There is a car show on the second Saturday of July that we want to attend so the clock is ticking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Try "The Big M" Mercury salvage yard in Williams, California...they may have a website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 58_edsel_ranger Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 The 3 speed Edsel column is not interchangeable with any other make or model. I was lucky and met a local Edsel nut. He has enough parts to build 2 or 3 Edsels. He had the column I needed and it was only $20 for the whole column. Thanks for the help. Glad I found that part.

keiser31 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Excellent to hear and good to know about the lack of being able to use a Mercury part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I found that part.Surprised that the column is unique to the Edsel. Glad you found your part, $20 sounds like a great deal. Good luck......
