No fucking way man, spent hours trying to figure it out.... saw your video, spent 3 minutes just trying to find the right tool and fixed it in 30 seconds. Thank you bro.

Thanks. Look at this, four years after you made this video and it is still helping people!

Lifesaver, simple fix for what I thought was going to be a shift cable replacement, initially thought the screws were tight but put a torx on them and they snugged about a turn each, now shifter feels like brand new! Thank You Jamie!

I am a 65 year old woman on a fixed income. Thank God for KZfaq and people like you. I about shit a brick when I got out of my car and it started to roll away. I wasn't quite all the way out yet so I stepped on the brake and no matter what I did everytime I put it in park it rolled back jerking. My daughter and I watched your video and bless her heart she climbed under the dash. Sure enough the screws were loose. My 1998 Lincoln Navigator locks in park now . Thank You again

I had the same issue on Saturday with my 2001 F150, I could not put it in park and the bolt was laying on the floor. Thank you for the video. Got it done today.

My stress level went up when my truck started rolling back. I thought wrh. I went in the store and googled and found your video. I looked on the floor and saw that torx screw in all it's glory. My stress level went back to normal. Thanks a heap.

My son has an expedition at college in New Mexico. Just had this problem. I'm in Colorado. You saved us a bunch of trouble and money! Thank you!

I just had to come back on here and tell you that sometimes guys take advantage of girls at the mechanics and you making this video just got me free of that for even if it's just one time thank you I hope God blesses you you are in my prayers thank you

I did as you explained, problem solved. I thought "hmm, parking pawl?" Just like yours, those screws loosened up. I even just skipped applying new loctite! My rustbucket probably won't see the day when those screws get loose again. Sidenote, scews are T30. Thanks man!

Love how raw n uncut it is. Truly amazing

Glad I found this before I took my F-250 apart further. I had to replace the shifter bushings and also changed the link on the end of the cable by the Range Sensor, but I still had issues going into Park. I was going to order a new cable and Switch, but a quick search and I found this video and it solved the problem. Thanks man, you saved me a ton of work.

First time I ever looked for some help on KZfaq ❤ and everything you said was so helpful 🤟 appreciate it bro

Thanks for your time and help.

Save Me 3 hours at the mechanic you rock brother

Just wanted to stop by and say tyvm for taking the time to share your experience I was ready to start taking things apart when decided to look up here ty bro you save me the hassle 🙏

Jamie, thanks a ton for the quick descriptive video. No bullshit just straight to the point without wasting my time! Worked like a champ, you da man!!!

thanks a lot buddy. i was about to go pay a guy but i had a feeling it wasnt that hard and youtube would help me. 5 years later youre still helping

Thank you Bro....For taking time out to save us the money and time.Really appreciate it.

nice post...fixed my problem in less than a minute....took longer to get the tools out of the box and find a flashlight....feels like a new truck. oh forgot to mention, this works for Excursions as well. at least it did on my 2000. Thank you.

Thank you very much for the video you saved me $400. You are my hero!!

Helped me in so many ways. A free fix

You are a hero. God bless you Good Samaritan.

No nonsense let's get it frickin fixed video! Buddy, you are a bright light among the late da repair videos of guys who just like to hear their own voices while spewing their infinite wisdom. Good work, good to go.

Thank you! This was my exact problem with my 2001 Ford ranger.

This should be in no doubt rated the best video on YT. Your reaction brought me to tears!

Thanks for the video. Tightening two Torx fasteners may only solve part of the problem. There are lots more Torx fasteners that come loose and other parts that wear out. Your solution will only fix one part of the problem and temporarily at best. For example, it's a common problem that the shift-tube bushings on the shift tube wear out and the shift tube brackets come loose (held in place by Torx fasteners). Can you say thread-lock? Drop the steering assembly column down ((eight nuts) and then it becomes pretty apparent that the shift tube is rising out of its bed. When the shift tube is flopping around in its carriage and it's supposed to be tightly held so that it rotates only, it will not apply enough torque to the shift cable and won't send the PRNDL selector switch fully into the Park position. The DIY parts will cost about 10 to $25 and it will take 1 hour to 1.5 hours. If your frustration tolerance is low, take it to a shop. Then, you can fix the parking brake MIL (indicator light) and replace the drum brake pads for the parking emergency brakes.

dude, your awesome. I was sweating. thinking my Trans was going out. thank you

The cursing made this video legit af. Thanks for the info!

One screw fell out and the other was about too.2002 f 250 7.3, unfortunately before I watched your video I got a little rough woth it and it broke the pin that between the two loose screws. I watched a couple other videos on this subject and yours was the only one that had sufficient light to see up inside the dash. Great job thanks.

Love how simply he explains it.

Thank you brother! I literally just picked up my ford and spent big money and was about to blow a gasket before I saw this video

By golly that was exactly my problem. I was sweatin' bullets that the transmission was throwing craps. Very much obliged!

Excellent video ! It solved my issue. Past couple weeks my 2003 F-150 had to be "slammed" in to Park or it would roll. I tightened those two torx screws after putting a dab of LocTite on them and the shifter feels like brand new. The top screw was back out, but, the bottom screw was about ready to fall out. Now I'm going to order my KZfaq Cerified Mechanic decal.

That was it! Both screws were backed out about 1/8". Whooo, super easy fix. Thanx bro!

Had the same problem with my 99 Ford F150. Thanks for the info and the video bro.

Same thing happened to me. I loved how you just called it what it was.

Bro you rock thank you so much totally fixed my problem with my ranger everyone was like it's a 20 dollar piece and I watched your video my shit was fixed in 10 mins thank you again

Jamie, Great Video ! I love that you get right to business. No half-ass funny jokes, no wasting our time showing us how to remove a phillips screw. Another thing I hated about other videos is the really poor lighting and shakey phone camera--You gave me the perfect solution for my 98 F-150--even the T-30 Torx head advice was perfect !! Thanks for showing everyone how it should be done !!

Having this exact problem with a 2001 Ford F250 right now. Thanks for this.

Excellent and thank you for the knowledge, I had the same problem and now I don't THANK YOU!!!

thank you! this totally worked form my 97 Expedition! you rock dude!

Great video and funny lol. Went straight to it after my screw fell in the floor too

Helpful video, thank you!

Had my 350 roll on me with my gooseneck attached 😂 today thanks for the vid bro

I have a 2001 f150 that wouldnt go into park.Watched your video and 1 bolt had dropped out and the other was loose.Thanks for the great tip.Just like brand new:>

I was going crazy trying to figure this out. Thanks for the help.

Thanks man I was ready to scrap the truck I was so annoyed with it found one of the screws under the floor mat

Thank you so much 😊 your video fixed my shifter problem and I finally got the orange line too line up to the right gear! Again, thank you. I was able to dump the mechanic I had that told me it was too much work to worry about the orange line lining up. Hahaha Thanks

Thanks bro I’m having this problem with my van e 250 parked my shit it started rolling lol 😂 I’m gonna try this thanks

Omg thank you so much for your video. You have helped so much. Cant wait for more of your videos.

When the telescopic tube for shifting your gear for a Ford brakes always look at the underneath of the truck because of the cable system might be compromised in some way

Very helpful ! Thanks.

"whatEVER the FUCK they call it" 🤣🤣

Bro this is shit only Ford Techs know man! I am an all makes Tech and it took my ass all afternoon to find this info, and right here is where I finally found it. After talking to a "Ford Tech" that did not know shit pertaining.

Saved me mucho time thx Brother.

Lol I had that problem years ago every day putting that screw back in

Thank you bro this just happened to my truck

Thanks a lot. Came close to trading this truck.

I've got the same exact problem and I'm pretty sure that's the problem I haven't checked it yet I just watch the video but wow I hope that's my problem because it's got a lot of play in it and I don't doubt if the screws fell out as well.. appreciate the video

Thankyou is alot help so i can be able to do my truck

This guy could be a standup comedian 😂

Yes your video did help someone thank you!

Thanks man u saved my ass 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏾✌🏾

2020 bro. Thank you thank you. Appreciate you

same kinda of issue but on f150,2013. where to start? center shifter says park but actually in reverse.ans then locks down

ha that's it! my 2000 f350 had the same problem, thanks!

Lol dam i have the same problem thanks for the help man

"Whatever the F*** they call this here lever" LOL. Same problem on my 2001 Mazda B3000, same mechanism as Ford Ranger, same damn loose bolts. Guess they didn't want to spend a fraction of a cent on some goddamn loctite.

If this isn’t it it’s the cable being right up near the driver side exhaust manifold when it gets hot it ruins the shift cable.

The shift tube bushings are gone in your column too. You'll definitely have the same problem very soon

Oh my God thank you thank you I wish I could hug you you save me so much money that I did not have

Ayeeee this awesome it work on mine

Mint shit, just fixed this on my towncar👌

i had that screw on the floor mat for around 1 year and it now started acting up and when i put it back in and tightened it, its not just stuck on park and only shifts down to reverse and gets stuck there

Hope mine are just loose. But going to change the bushings also .

thank you great video

Thanks bro

Same with my 2000 explorer it was rolling away and almost hit two cars and a car port

hey, so one of the screws broke on me, and the metal bar on the inside that’s sticking out broke too, what is the part number ?

Got same problem with my 03 ranger

Same for the 450 super duty too

That helped a lot. 👍

This will work on my 1997 Explorer, but one screw is missing. Anyone got a part #?

Thanks

Make more videos my dude

Thanks that helped a lot

What if the thing that holds the screw brake off

fuck yea, bro!

Would this method work on a 2018 Nissan frontier pro4x

What ever the fuck they call this. Lol thanks for the Video

Floor shifter to

99 Ford explorer fixed in 3 min thanks
