Dorman Transmission Gearshift Bracket Assembly for Dodge/Ram — With Shift Interlock Solenoid, Reinforced Double‑Bolt Alloy

The Dorman 905-671 is an OE-fix replacement transmission gearshift bracket and shift interlock solenoid that restores secure, precise column-mounted shifting on compatible Dodge and Ram trucks.

If your column shift lever has developed excessive play or stopped engaging cleanly, the original soft cast-aluminum bracket and single-bolt attachment are often the cause. Dorman redesigned this service part with a stronger aluminum alloy and a double-bolt fastening layout to stop the repeated loosening or thread stripping that leads to sloppy shifters. The 905-671 is built to match OE fitment and includes a direct-replacement shift interlock solenoid, so installation is predictable and dependable.

How does this bracket stop sloppy or loose column shifting?

The 905-671 eliminates the common single-bolt failure by using a reinforced aluminum alloy and a double-bolt clamp layout that better spreads shifting forces. That reduces stress on any one fastener and prevents the bracket from spinning, deforming, or breaking under repeated gear selections.

• Stronger, higher-grade aluminum alloy for improved durability
• Double-bolt design distributes load across two attachment points
• Reduced risk of thread stripping and bracket fracture
• Direct replacement geometry for straightforward installation

Will this part fit my Dodge or Ram model and years?

This Dorman assembly is engineered to match the OEM bracket and is compatible with a range of Dodge and Ram trucks across specified model years. Always confirm fitment by entering your vehicle trim in the seller’s garage tool and checking the Confirmed Fit indicators before ordering.

• Compatible with various Ram 1500, Ram 1500 Classic, Ram 2500, Ram 3500, and Dodge Ram 1500/2500/3500 model years listed
• Includes notes where additional verification may be required via the blue “i” icon
• Use the vehicle lookup to ensure exact match for trim and production year

Does this replace the shift interlock solenoid too, and is a bracket-only option available?

Yes — the 905-671 is supplied as an assembly including a direct replacement shift interlock solenoid for a complete repair in one part number. If you only need the bracket without the solenoid, Dorman offers part 905-670 as the bracket-only alternative.

• 905-671 includes the shift interlock solenoid for one-step replacement
• 905-670 available if you only require the bracket portion
• Both parts are designed to match OEM fit and function for easy swapping

How difficult is installation and what should I expect?

Installation is intended to be straightforward for mechanically inclined owners or professional technicians because the bracket matches OEM mounting points. The improved design reduces the chance you’ll need recurring work from re-failures common with the original cast bracket.

• Direct replacement fit minimizes modification or adjustments
• Can be installed by a competent DIYer with basic hand tools, or by a shop
• Expect a more stable shift lever and fewer follow-up repairs

Who is this for: The Dorman 905-671 is aimed at owners and technicians repairing column-mounted shift issues on compatible Dodge and Ram trucks who want a reliable, long-lasting fix. It’s particularly suited to those who have experienced bracket loosening, stripped threads, or breakage with the original soft cast-aluminum part and prefer a robust, engineered replacement that restores precise gear selection and includes the shift interlock solenoid for a complete repair.
