Ford C6 Automatic Floor Shift Lever - Homemade Linkage Fabrication Blueprint

This document is a hand-drawn fabrication blueprint, sketched on graph paper, for making a floor shift lever (shift linkage rod) for a Ford C6 automatic transmission. The dimensioned drawing shows a flat bar 17 inches overall with a 1/4-inch hole drilled 7/8 inch from each end. The upper straight section is 7 3/4 inches long, followed by a 20-degree bend (referenced as Note 1) dropping the bar 2 inches, then a lower straight section 4 3/4 inches long ending in another 20-degree bend at the right end. A list of materials specifies one piece of flat stock steel or aluminum measuring 17 1/2" x 3/4" x 3/16", two 1/4" x 1" clevis pins, two clips, and four 1/4" washers. Fabrication notes advise allowing one material thickness per bend, marking dimensions 1/8 inch long, and state that all dimensions are approximate. A reader can use this document to fabricate a homemade C6 automatic floor-shift lever/linkage from common flat stock hardware, with all critical lengths, hole sizes, bend angles, and required fastening hardware provided. No vehicle year, model, or part numbers are stated in the document itself.
