Dorman transmission gearshift bracket for Dodge/Ram column shifters — 905-671 with double-bolt design and replacement interlock so

The Dorman 905-671 is a reinforced replacement transmission gearshift bracket with an upgraded double-bolt design and improved aluminum alloy that restores firm, reliable column shifter operation on compatible Dodge and Ram trucks.

If your column-mounted shifter on Dodge or Ram models feels loose, wobbly, or fails to stay engaged, the common culprit is the original cast-aluminum shift bracket losing its grip or breaking around the single mounting bolt. Dorman redesigned this bracket as an OE FIX solution: stronger material, a twin-bolt fastening system and a direct-fit geometry that simplifies installation and reduces the chance of repeat failure. The assembly also includes a direct replacement shift interlock solenoid so the repair restores both mechanical strength and proper locking function.

Why does the factory shift bracket fail on these trucks?

Factory brackets were cast from a relatively soft aluminum and relied on one bolt to take the repeated loads of shifting. Over time the bolt works loose, threads strip, or the bracket fractures, which creates excessive play in the column shifter and can make gear selection unreliable.

• Original single-bolt design concentrates stress at one point
• Soft cast aluminum prone to thread damage and cracks
• Repeated shift motion accelerates loosening and failure

How does the Dorman 905-671 improve durability and fit?

Dorman addresses the failure modes by using a higher-grade aluminum alloy and adding a robust double-bolt clamp that spreads load across a wider area. The part is engineered to match OE mounting points so it installs without modification and aligns the shift lever and cable correctly.

• Stronger aluminum alloy resists cracking and stripped threads
• Double-bolt design distributes shifting stresses evenly
• Direct-replacement geometry for bolt-on installation

Does this part restore the shift interlock function and is there a bracket-only option?

The 905-671 assembly includes a direct replacement shift interlock solenoid so the interlock function is returned along with mechanical strength. If you only need the bracket without the solenoid, Dorman sells part number 905-670 as the bracket-only option.

• 905-671 includes replacement interlock solenoid
• 905-670 available when only the bracket is required
• Both designed for plug-and-play fit on specified models

Which vehicles does this Dorman bracket fit and how should I confirm compatibility?

The part fits select Dodge and Ram model years listed for Ram 1500, Ram 1500 Classic, Ram 2500, Ram 3500, and Dodge Ram 1500/2500/3500 across 2009–2021 ranges depending on model. Always confirm fitment by entering your vehicle trim in the seller’s garage tool and checking the Confirmed Fit indicator for any notes.

• Fits specified 2009–2021 Dodge and Ram column-shift models (see fitment details)
• Use the site’s garage tool to confirm exact trim compatibility
• Look for the blue “i” icon for additional fitment notes if present

Who is this for: Dorman 905-671 is intended for Dodge and Ram owners, DIY mechanics, and professional repair shops needing a long-lasting, straightforward repair to column-mounted shifter wobble or failure. If your truck’s shifter has excessive play or the original bracket has cracked or stripped threads, this direct-fit upgrade replaces the weak OE part with a robust solution designed to stop repeat repairs and restore consistent gear selection.
