Shift cable adjuster broke - 1997 4 cyl automatic ranger

Hello...

So, I hop in my truck run down to get some gas, shut of the truck and got some gas. When I went to start the truck it didn't want to start and had to fiddle with the shifter - figured the two screw up under the shifting column came loose. Nope, the piece of plastic/neoprene that holds the adjuster to adjust the shifter position has broke.

I'm hoping someone may know the name of the part and if it can be replaced or if I'll have to get a whole new cable or ?

It a 1997 Ford Range XL with a 4 cylinder engine.

Here a couple pics of the part I'm talking about. The screw is loose on the truck picture, but I was already removing it when I decided to snap a picture of it.

Thanks for any help/assistance...

Ok, I guess these are called shift cable indicator brackets. I've found a bunch of them, but none that fit a 97 ranger with 4 cylinder engine. Not sure what the differences are, but the ones that say they don't fit look just like the one that came off the truck. If I find the correct part I'll post it.

Thanks Rock304. That's the part I just installed. When searching for the part I read in one of the comments that it fits a 97 ranger even though it says it doesn't fit. So, I ran over to advanced auto parts and sure if enough it seems to be the same exact part that came off the truck. Back to starting and shifting good again...

Thanks for the update and I'm glad that was what you needed!
