Searching for a discontinued part

[Fleet]

I own a 1995 Lincoln Town Car Signature Series. The transmission selector (lever) is acting up. Car won't go into Park or Reverse. It does go into Drive so I am able to use drive it. It is at a transmission place now and they are having trouble finding the cable. Discontinued, they say. They at the shop said they will still search for that part. I will, too. Does anyone know of a wrecking yard which would have that part? If auto supply stores don't carry it, I am thinking the next choice is a wrecking yard.

I would try Green Sales Company they have a large variety of parts.

Also look into Lincoln Land Inc. in Tampa Fl. They specialize in nothing but Lincoln parts.

Good Luck! Let us know how things proceed.

F5AZ-7E395-A I believe this is it. I went to Ford Parts Giant typed in description of car and part, this showed up.

Genuine Lincoln Town Car Shift Cable

Here it is on Rock Auto: (They are currently out of stock for now)

PIONEER CA1273 Shift Cable | RockAuto

Hope this helps.

If available... I would definitely get the factory cable.

Some of the aftetmarket cables are problematic.

Call Tasca with your VIN and verify fitment.

Update: The transmission shop was able to locate the part/cable needed. Transmission selector works fine now. Thanks for the replies.
