The support linkage/lever assembly (7A185) has an end that goes through a hole with a nylon bushing in a stamped sheet metal bracket (7C431) that's attached to the back of the engine/bellhousing and to the subframe (that's what's in the original poster's picture from which this thread was started). Quite frankly, without some good photos from the engine bay side and the underside of the car, it's hard to describe how all this is put together. This illustration is from the 1965-1972 Ford Car Master Parts Catalog (MPC) and shows another mechanical linkage for the transmission downshift lever from the lever/bracket assembly in the original poster's picture, and the main shifter rod from the steering column to the transmission for both 19.

Transmission Control Levers (from 1965 T-bird Shop Manual pg 7-36) 65 SM p 7-36 fig 47 - Cruise-O-Matic Transmission Case Control Linkage.jpg (22.84 KiB) Viewed 325 times A larger vacuum line should be running from a fitting on the intake manifold to the brake booster, from which the line for the vacuum modulator is connected as noted above. There should be a vacuum hose going from a fitting on the brake booster to a steel line that's near it - that line/tube runs alongside the transmission case and to the back of the transmission, where the vacuum modulator is located - it's connected to the steel line by another short length of hose.
I think you're talking about the vacuum hose/line that's needed for the vacuum modulator fitting on the rear of the transmission. I think it’s called shift linkage because if you search online for shift linkage that’s when the parts show up including the one in the picture in this thread along with other linkage parts! I want to figure out where it connects to as the car is not shifting. In my thunderbird the tube gets connected to a hose that comes up but is left disconnected there. The picture of the new part that is in this post. Nor can I find any pics online of this part of the linkage. Does this look normal? I have the repair manual but I cannot find much help in there. And I pressed down very hard on the springs to insert the cotter pin. It wasnt perfect but seems to help a little. To try and help I also found a bushing for it. Instead of simply staying still and rotating. I had my son shift in the car and I see the whole rod wobbling, move up and down. Where it pivots/attaches to the bracket holding it to the frame. To me it looks like something is weird on what I think is called the bellcrank. Many sites seem to point to the arm at the end of the column as the culprit. Then I feel and hear it click into Drive. From park it seems to skip R and N all together.
When all hooked up, it simply feels very sloppy. I have read for hours online, and tried a couple things but I still cant this to shift right. I've been having a little trouble with the shift linkage on this.
