This image is just like the broken column shift on my daughter's 2005 Explorer. I know I can get the alloy part that links to the shift lever aftermarket, but the brass piece on the back side with the hard plastic ball is also damaged. Ford doesn't even seem to have a name for this part. My...

1996 Explorer Eddie Bauer 5.0, automatic transmission, 135,000 miles. Over the last few years occasionally, maybe 1 in 10 starts, I'd have to jiggle the shifter to get the vehicle started. In the last few weeks it's turned into every start I'd have to jiggle it a lot, and last Tuesday nothing...

How to make your 3rd generation Explorer steering column telescope. The 3rd generation Explorer was the first and only Explorer to receive a telescoping steering column from the factory. However this was not a standard feature and was an option reserved for the higher end 3rd gens. However...

I have 2001 mountaineer that drives like a dream. The other day I get in to find the shifter on the column has alot of play. I'm having trouble getting into park and 1. After a week of this it gets progressively worse. I can't get into park or 1 at all. I can put it into where park is and get my...
