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.

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

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.

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!

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.

@charlestackett71372 жыл бұрын
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.

There is another video out there shows you how to take the old piece out and put the new one in. I think if you braze or weld the pin back on it would just break again.

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.
