Brother, I can not tell you how this just saved my life. I was driving my 2006 f350 and a bolt fell out onto my foot. I am by no means a mechanic so i started to freak out and then my wife pulled up this video. If you simply follow every step this man gives, a dummy could fix this problem. He made it so easy and he was absolutely right about everything he said. The truck shifts beautifully now thanks to you. Appreciate it.

I was having this issue and AAMCO quoted me $800 to fix it and they wanted to have it for over a week. They tried to sell me an entire new remanufactured shift linkage. Turned out it was just these two bolts loose. You just saved me hella money and time!

I found the screw that you had missing on my floor. Didn’t know what it belonged to so I set it aside to continue figuring out how to fix my 2003 Ford Explorer sport. I’ve watched at least 5 different videos, none of which helped me solved my issue. Although I learned a lot from all the videos I watched, this was the one that helped. You held up that screw and I was all “omg.... I know that screw!” I put it in where you said and it fixed my issue. I appreciate this video to the max. Thank you so much!!

You saved me my G!!!🙌🏾. A hour ago my 2000 F150 XL stop going into park and was always clunking when I shift. I drove back home thinking my transmission was going out. Found your video on KZfaq and just like you said. One of my T30 screws fell out completely and the other one was half way unscrewed. 😬 Thanks 🙏🏾🙌🏾

Dude your video is timeless, it’s 2022 and I just solved my months long issue with my 2004 V-10 Excursion after watching your video. Bolt was loose and needed to be tightened. Took me less than 10 minutes. Thank you!

great fix, after a new neutral safety switch installed problem still existed. Removed said screws, installed threadlock and re-installed screws and bingo all good. Probably didn't need switch but an easy $50 learning process. Both screws were loose as described. Thanks again

I panicked sooooooo much and calmed down right away with that bolt in my hand and my truck not parking anymore and turning back on. Thank you so much for this video. Everything what was wrong with it was covered in here.

Thanks for the info , worked on my 2007 Ranger. It was a little tough getting up in there but I tightened the bolts a half turn each works great now.

Thanks for the info , this worked on my 2007 ranger. I tightened the two bolts a half turn each and it solved the problem

The bolt that goes into this piece is a M 6 and it is 20m long. I bought a flanged grade 8 bolt, and put some lock tight. This shifter ended up tighter than a nun on Sunday mass!!! Thanks for the help

Why I did not find you sooner? Had the same issue ( truck starting sometimes and sometimes it woudn't and difficulty engaging park and the other shift positions)in my 1999 F350 gas V10 , the problem was getting worse and I changed the battery and the first mechanic changed the starter and a bunch of other things ( unrelated) so I spent over $ 3000. The issue continued so I went to another mechanic and he told me he had to order some parts from the dealer, a new starter and some cable that was damaged . I was going to go back to them tomorrow...but I watched your video....and found the issue ...the 2 fu ck ing screws were loose....I tight em and is perfect now. I was ripped off once and was going to be ra pe d twice....because of 2 loose screws. You saved my a s s . Thanks a lot

Dude it fucking worked. I can't believe it. I almost gave up and took my truck somewhere. Words can't explain my gratitude. 99 Ford f150

Dude you saved my bacon! I had the exact same problem on my Ford Ranger 2000. The screw was not gone but both were so loose they were almost out. This was so hard to film but I for one am so glad you did this. Totally worth the effort, I'm so grateful.

Tightening the two gold T30 torx head bolts on the shifter column fixes my 1997 4.0 Explorer XLT!

Thank you so much, my moms kept having troubles and problems with it but with ur simple fix u saved us probably hundreds!!!

Thank you so much!! I had the same problem and this fixed it!!!

Thanks, fixed the problem for only the cost of the effort. The most difficult thing was fitting under the dash without being a contortionist. Was at first dismayed to see both torq head bolts in place. Then I jiggled the shift lever and saw that on bolt had backed out and was loose. Found the other one was also loose. Tightened both bolts and now shift lever works like the day in came from the factory. This began as occasional not starting in park making me think neutral safety switch on transmission was failing. So I bought a new one and if it ever goes bad I am ready.

Bro u just lifted the heart attack I had when I was driving my dads truck for work 😭 thought I messed up bad

Excellent video! Thank you for saying size, t30! Reached up with the right size, done in 30 seconds! Fixed my 2000 Ford E350 QUIGLEY! Thank you!

Thank you sir! It fixed it right up. Had the problem. Watched your Video and ten minutes later it's fixed. Thank you you made my day a little better.

Thanks bro. Fixed mine in 2 mins. It started when my truck slipped into reverse while running and I almost ran someone over. Thanks Ford

Life saver. Worked great

Great video, I am having the same problem with my shifter and not starting. I am now going to check my 99 mountaineer.

Great video. Fixed my shifter issue (wouldn’t shift into park at all was very dangerous) but now my truck won’t even start in neutral, any thoughts?

Thanks! Both bolts were loose, tightened them, now works perfect! Bill in Arizona

Wow, had no idea I could start in neutral. Immensely helpful, thanks Rick

Dude you helped me fix my 96 explorer you freaking rock THANKS A MILLION 😄

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Best part was your use of the easy to replace fastener from the electrical connector! My two bolts loosened enough such that the lever was strong enough to snap the head off one bolt. But that bolt was already lose and unscrewed by hand. Only two problems for me. First one is I am 6 foot 250 lbs and scrunching under the dash is fun. Second problem is the temperature is in the 20's. Cold tools are no fun! I will redo this with locktite when it gets warm! Paid just under $4 for another bolt, put it in the connector, buttoned up the fuse panel and I am good to go!

Thanks alot 🙏 u just helped me fix 97 Ford Expedition.

It's gratifying and fun working on our old Excursions. #7.3

Thank you! Worked on my 2002 Ranger. Both bolts were incredibly loose since I took apart the steering column last year.

Very helpful video! Fixed my 2001 ford ranger not completely shifting into park, reverse, or drive.

Thanks for the video. I was going to have a mobile mechanic come out and look at it. Was going to charge me just to come out. Thought it was a bigger problem. Saved me a great deal of money time and headaches

This repair worked on my 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac . One bolt was out, other was half loose. Thx!

Worked great! Think you were the only youtube video that actually fixed the problem. Thanks!

Helped big time 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

T Y for the show. Fixed my daughter in notime and she got to the doctor appt. TY TY TY

Thank you appreciate your help thanks for the idea to swap one screw what are you don’t really need it came in handy. I had one broken screw luckily it came out easily and I swapped it with one not too far away like you did thank you have a great day. 👏

thanks a million for creating and sharing this video. I was able to fix my e150 van which had the same issue. Why is there no lock washer? Stupid engineering. Seriously thank you for taking the time to create this video. it is greatly appreciated.

Thank you, corrected the issue with ease. Also, fyi let a friend borrow the t30 I had in my kit, so only had a t25, it worked fine. I don't recommend using the wrong size bits due to stripping, but just don't go crazy and it fit plenty snug, use at your own risk though. Also subscribed, feel like if anything actually helps that should be automatic

Thank you, have exact problems and it’s solved in a sec. Appreciate you keep doing what you are doing🙏🙏😍

Bless u bro! I got my alley ranch set and went right to it. My panal was already off since its a 2000 f150 i guess previous owner left it off lol. But i went right to the screws and both were loose. I tighten hard as i could and Bamo im back in park . Thanks Bud!

Thanks so much. I have a 1999 Ford Taurus with the same problem, I changed the shifter bushings and it didn't help. Not until I found your video. I was lucky that my screws were still there, but just barely hanging on.

just wanted to thank everyone for taking the time to thank me for this video!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE SUBSCRIBE IF I HELPED YOU

thanks for this video man. gonna be able to fix this annoying problem now

I have this issue with my 2000 Ford Explorer. This is gonna be a life saver

You are the man! I’ve been messing with this for months.

Your video helped me with the same problem thank u

Thank you for posting, resolved the same issue on my '97 F150!

4:41 off white in color, plastic box, 2 bolts ( top and bottom) is called ignition switch.

O YAAAAAA, I forgot about those bolts

Add screws probably an 8/32 I’m curious what you charge the owner? Good video thank you

As a mechanic I recommend so that this doesnt happen again to use a lock tite adhesive on the bolt threads then reinstall them.

Nice explanation and demonstration of problem and clever fix I have the same problem with 98 econoline

my ford fusion would not start and same problem with it not wanting to go on park. But it also marks a different gear on the dashboard than what it says on the gear shift knob. Starting the car on neutral really helped turn on my car and get me home until i can fix it.

This was a fucking lifesaver. My 1997 Ford Econoline E-150 would only go into park if I jammed the shifter up really hard. Was a pain to get to these bolts but tightening them down fixed it instantly. Thanks for posting!

Thank you for a perfect, on point, fix. You saved me hours of troubleshooting!

THANKS! LET'S SEE IF I CAN FIX MY PICKUP TRUCK F-150.

God damn thank you. Would never have found those screws. I was looking at the transmission linkage.

Very resourceful!

Very helpful i had the same issue with my 01 expidition. Replaced the bolt and it works perfect now. Thanks for the Video.

Well done video. Tyvm

I bet this is the same issue on my 2001 sport Trac. Good information

I have a 97 Expedition with the same problem. If it isn't a loose plate, is there any other way to repair like adjusting the the screw/wheel on the cable?

What is the part called?

Thanks a million, have a 2000 Ford Ranger and it does this too.

If this didn’t work for anyone or you contorted yourself between the seat and dash to see that both your screws were tight (speaking from experience) CHECK YOUR SHIFT COLMN BUSHINGS. I had this issue but both my screws were tight. The bushing cost 8$ on Amazon and the fix is just as easy as this

Thank you, will try this Im having the same problem

Broooo i wish ida seen this vid 3 days ago went out to start truck no start replaced starter and battery same deal sometimes it start right up others id have fiddle with shifter or start in neutral 400 dollars between starter and battey and all along my screw was loose your a blessing shit was driving me crazy thanks man

Thank you, this at least is getting me by. The top lop of aluminum is broke off so I only have 1 bolt holding mine on. :(

Thank you so much! I was stuck at a gas station and was about to start crying haha this saved me.

It was tight fit under there but you saved me money brother thnk you!!!

Thank you thank you thank you :) fixed my issue of not starting in park on 97 f-150

Man I have a 98 expo,my mechanic would've made 200 easy. Thanks bro

I have a 2000 Ford Ranger and I believe this is my problem as well, I'm gonna have to get underneath and check for loose or missing screws, my truck rolled out of the driveway last night.

same problem I'm having with my 2001 Ford Ranger THANKS a million …..

Thanks for video It will work for central console transportation?

Super useful thanks bud

Thank You so much. I would have never found those my loose screws or even know the cause of the problem in my E-250. The only thing that I would add is the need for a good contortionist with very small hands!! 😂

thanks my Lincoln navigator just bought does this didn't realize it really a ford-relieved its eaibly fixable thanks

Same problem I’m having now with my e350

This video was a lifesaver!!! Thank you! You’re the best. Helped fix my 2002 f150.

Do this work on a 03 f250

Great video

thanks bro 🙏🏼made my showing to spider-man bc of this.

This was great had the issue on my 1999 ford ranger, they were just loose

Hope you can help!! My '99 Ford Econoline van is doing the same thing...have to start it in "neutral" . I am going to check those screws but...would that also be the reason that even when keys are shut off the van starts rolling if I am not on level ground. Would this fix that problem or is this a costly transmission repair???

I just did it today in 1999 ford f150 and is was exactly what di you say......the screws almost fall.....I just tie and done.. .thank you for you info

Thanks for this video!🥰 By the way have you ever worked on the third brake light on a 2000 Ford expedition xlt triton v8 4.6L? I was told that the brake light assembly harness wires would need to be sauntered to remove and replace since it isn't one that clips in like most newer Ford expeditions. And I can't seem to find a brake light harness for my expedition to replace the one that's no longer working since my vehicle is older. Salvage yards have not been helpful. Any help would be appreciated.😊

Mine goes into all the gears but it only starts bettwen reverse and park so it needs adjusted a little

Mine did this at first for awhile but now the shifter lever won't go into reverse and easily slides threw the gears intill I get to drive it locks into drive like normal I was thinking shifter cable but now you have me thinking could both screws Fallin out and caused this?

I replace shifter bushin tighten the two t30 screws you mention.what am I missing.and it still won't go into park.

about to tear my sport trac apart and see if this solves my issue. When I first got the truck it sometimes wouldnt crank unless i fidgeted w shifter then one day alternator took a dump so replaced that. Now it still won’t really go all the way into park but never had crank issues since.

I suggest using thread lock so you won't have to do this again!

thank you!

That was a great video , exactly what my problem was !

I have a ‘00 town car and it won’t go into park so I have to go into neutral to start it. Will this work on mine?

Any recommendations if the screw won't go into the hole? It's like the two components are not flush but I can't get in there to see down the hole. Do I need to be in reverse? Does my e-brake need to be disengaged? Im attempting with the the gear in between park and reverse.

Hey man, thanks a whole lot. You’ve saved a headache a money with this video. You’ve definitely taught me something new and I can’t thank you enough
