My 87 MJ automatic transmission dash indicator broke. Is there a replacement for this like from a Ford/Chevy

[Top C]

 The dash indicator broke. Is there an after market replacement or maybe a Ford/Chevy type that would work?

Thanks

One inside the cluster or on the column?

watching   my 89 is still connected, but the collar on the steering column is not connected to the housing for the lever,  been that way a long time....

There should be a clip that attaches to the back side of that collar if it’s the one in the cluster. I have a loose indicator that I can snap a pic of later to show ya.

Inside the cluster

the tiny cable can indeed break, but it's far more likely that the clip came off.

Ok I will check that today and hopefully that is what happend. It’s been gradually moving all the way to the left. I’m sorry I didn't mention that part.

That sounds like the clip slipped off. It’s a little tricky getting your fingers in there without taking everything apart. I’ve had the best luck clipping it back on the collar wherever I can, and then pushing the clip with a flat head to adjust the position.

anyone know what retains the collar inside of the column near the shifter?
