Hey Guys,
I'm trying to get a shift linkage rod bolt for a Contour/Mystique 95, 96 and 97. That's for the MTX with the rod link shifter. I cannot shift the car and it's not the shifter tower or other things. The shift rod linkage bolt is missing.

I know that it's a M7 bolt but it's special, it's a shoulder bolt. If you just screw in a M7, it's screws but it's not center because the shoulder should be a bit thicker because the end of the universal joint, there's too much play in it. The dealers don't have any bolt for the MTX. I think the original Ford part # was W701273-S301.
Here's a picture of it: http://carplugs.com/w701273-s301.jpg
Here's the placed it's located: http://carplugs.com/2011-12-27_184137_shift1.gif
(the bolt is the shift rod in neutral position arrow)
I went to two scrap yards and found only ATX Contours or Mystiques.
If you have some other info to get one or dimensions, I can get one machined, please help.
Thanks,
Intravino
