shifter

Wanted to post this because I found little information dealing with the 2nd gen Sport Trac’s shifter cable heat shield. The good news is that it’s designed to snap off and snap back on. The bad news is that the clip in BushingFix’s cable repair kit lacks the notches needed to attach the heat...

I have two problems on my 1998 Ford Explorer 5.0 V8, and I don’t know if they’re related in any way. Can anyone help me straighten out what’s going on. First is the shifter that’s at issue. Starting off, the tranny was rebuilt 2 to 3 years ago. Also, I just went into the dash, and replaced the...

In the last 2 weeks my explorer won't start unless my shifter is pushed harder in park. At first I barely had to push up on shifter but now it will barely start unless I push really hard up on it. It's always had play in it, but it does seem like it has more now. Thanks for any help!! I'm afraid...

As I pulled onto a highway about a year ago, I thought the transmission slipped a little so I took it to a Ford dealer. They told me the transmission needed to be replaced. I ignored them and it's been running fine for over a year. Then one day it really did disengage entirely and I thought...

I just replaced the shift knob on my 2007 Explorer with the flex shift knob. Worked great for about two months and now once in a while will lock up and will not come out of Park. I take the console cover off and work the screw that attaches it to the shift handle and seems to work fine for a...

This started shortly after I bought the car in November 2014. I came out in the morning & no electrical power. I jumped it & ran fine for a couple days. Then dead again on a Saturday morning. I took it to the dealer who did a battery check & said everything (battery, charging, etc..) checked...

I replaced the shifter bushing on the steering column yesterday. After this was done the dash lights were very dim, headlights were dim and it would not start. So I left it alone, as I only had 3 hrs sleep and figured it was not a good idea to investigate. I went out this morning and looked at...

Hello, I just had a new transmission installed into my 2008 4x4 EB 4.0L. All gears work well. As a matter of fact, the truck runs wonderfully. If I want to put the car into drive, I have to put the gear selector into 3 then push into D, when it engages beautifly. Is there a way I can adjust...

Already repaired the thumb wheel and checked the t30 bolts while I was in there. Took the column apart and the shaft isn't broken but cannot fighre out why it won't go past drive. All this I did after reading this amazing forum but can't find any information to help me any ideas? Thanks in advance

I know the white clip goes into the gear connection cable, but for the life of me I do not remember where the blue plastic and metal clip shown in pic go, nor their purpose. The white clip is NOT holding the cable tight. Anybody seen these parts on their trucks? Searching has gotten me nowhere...

I have a 2003 ford explorer and we just replaced the transmission, now trying to get everything going and suddenly the column shifter slips through the gears and isn't shifting properly. I need help, I can't seem to find a darn thing on the Internet. If I need to tighten the shifter linkage how...

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...

Okay so here's the deal... I lost something very important in the dash. I haven't found anything on here that will help me get past the stage I'm at now, or any threads that show how to completely remove the dash. At this point, the dash is completely unmounted. The problem I'm having now is...

Hi Friends, So here is what happened... My 2000 Ford Explorer XLT (V6 SVOHC) Shifter snapped in two. Not a big deal. Ordered a replacement. Dropped the steering column pulled the old one out put the new one in... Noticed that the transhift cable housing was cracked so seeing as I was...

WTB - Hurst short throw shifter part# 3915020 OR stock handle - Ranger w/ m5od I am looking to buy a good used Hurst shifter for my Ranger, with an M5OD-R1-HD manual trans. My truck is a '93, but I recently picked up a '00 Ranger new take out trans, which is the HD version. The Hurst part#...

Last Friday on the way home from work I noticed my shift lever was extremely hard to use but I didn't have any issues other than that. Yesterday I go to leave for work and now it wont start. I knew it wasn't a battery issue but I left in my wifes car as I suspected the shift lever to be the...

I have a 2000 explorer xlt 4x4 Of course it has a blinking o/d light and am afraid to travel very far. It also has a loose shifter (on the column) that comes out of gear when stopped or going slow or on an incline. Is there an easy fix for this.

84 Bronco II 5speed Shift lever spins 360 degrees freely and lifts from lever socket freely. Open up the case and found this bushing sitting in the transmission. I fished it out, looks broken in half, but really I don't know if there was more to this part to begin with. So....what is it...

2006 Explorer XLT 92,000 miles. From "Park" the shifter easily moves into all other gears R,D,N, etc. But while the shifter moves easily, the transmission does not engage to move the car (forward or reverse). Dealer said this was a common problem and that a pump in the transmission...

So im new to the forum and have been slowly turning my gen3 04 XLT into a street machine. It has the 4.6 paired with the 5R55S. Im tired of the steering column shifter and have been looking at the TCI street fighter ratchet shifter for the 05-09 mustang since it is a 5R55S specific shifter. Ive...

So I get a call this morning from my daughter...she and her husband were not able to get her Explorer to shift out of Park. He forced it and broke the shift lever....not the die cast piece with the ears that the lever attaches to with a pin...but the actual lever itself! Broke it right off...

I'm having some problems shifting out of park (TSB-07-12-9) on my 2007 XLT Sport Trac. I have a few weeks left on the drive-train warranty but the Ford dealership in town says it won't be covered. Over the phone the people at the dealership have been dicks. They told me it would take an hour...

The shifter in my a4ld doesnt line up after rebuild you can see in this pic: 0413011247.jpg by Justinsdiy, on Flickr its supposed to be in park but the shifter in the pan isnt on the teeth like its too far. My question is can you adjust this so it will line up where its supposed to???
