I just recently picked up a 91 f150 xlt lariat 5.0 v8 for cheap, not in perfect condition by far. On my drive home from buying it the shifter arm(it's a stick shift) came off while on the highway(fun ride). When I got home the bolt holding the shifter arm to the top of the transmission had come partially out because they damaged the threads on both sides of the bolt. I took the bolt to several auto parts stores to see if I could get a new one but none of them knew what to call it. does anyone know what it is called so I could search for it, or where to get one? If I have to repair the threads with a tap and die or thread chaser/restorer tool I will, I just was going to do that as a last resort.
any help is greatly appreciated thank you in advance.
