Does anybody know if Plymouth used same torsion spring and bushing on the 3 speed rod that goes thru firewall have Mopar number for 41 dodge spring hold it in neatral position and bushing housing is welded to steering jacket can’t find these 2 parts and shifter rod bushing lets it walk too much it’s numbers 43-44 in parts manual called gearshift rod bearing Mopar 857477 and spring is 866566 just need to know if Plymouth has diff numbers I’m stumped

   The bearing number is the same as my 46 Plymouth book. (.625 I.D. x1.005 O.D., 5/8 in. long) The book has 1121652 as the spring number. ( steel, 1 inch I.D., 2 5/8 inch long)  It looks like the same spring and bearing was used on a B model three speed column shift that I have. I looked for those numbers from your prior posts, with no luck. I would fabricate one with an oilite bushing or a hard wearing plastic. I would get some .070” music or piano wire and bend it around bar stock to copy your broken spring. When done bending, I put it in the oven when my wife bakes a frozen pie at 425 degrees for 60 minutes. I’ve made a few emergency brake torsion springs and door latch springs with flat .062” x .185” wire.
