Thank you… thank you… thank you
You just saved me $50, thanks a lot. This also works for 1992 F150s, for what it’s worth.
Great video! I have been living with this problem for quite some time. If I knew then what to do and how easy it was to correct, I would have done it a long time ago. Thank you for your efforts.
Thank you!!Great Info!!!This really helped me!!!
thanks for the video, I thought my son had ruined my linkage when I let him use my truck for a few weeks. Thought it was going to cost a couple hundred bux to fix the problem but after watching this video it only took about 5 minutes to fix and its like new again!! thanks hoodjob4u, great tutorial :)
Please tell me you used a Torx and not a regular flathead screwdriver -_-
Thanks Jlbass. 270k is an awesome milestone.
No prob. Thanks for watching.
Dana, I think your comment is the best I have ever read anywhere on YouTube. Way to go!
Great thread Bro!!! It took me 10 minutes to fix this on My 1998 F150 XL.Great video, very helpful. Thanks again !
i just watched your video and followed your instruction and fixed the truck my husband and nephew who is a military mechanic could not fix ——YOUR THE MAN THAT JUST MADE ME THE WOMAN!!!!!!!!!! with bragging rights for while lol
Thank you! I replaced my 1996 explorer worn shift indicator and still had the problem. I looked around the floor and found the screw and the other one loose. It was easy to find as you described and showed..
you’ve truly helped us, thanks so much, I had to post twice.
thanks dude, you’re the best
Does this also fix the “hard to shift” problem? Mine very stiff.
Will, try to snug up those bolts just in case….mine LOOKED to be tight. But if your bracket is tight, the screws probably are too, which means your shifter tube bushings are probably trashed. I tightened the bolts on my 98 F150, and it shifts like new, but, the shifter still has a little bit of slop. No big deal, atleast it now shifts good! lol….with 270k + miles, I KNOW my bushings need to be replaced, but they’ll be juuuuust fine for awhile..lol
Dude! Thank you SOOOOOO F’ing much for the vid! I’ve seen forum posts, and just never could see the bolts that would come loose. I’ve been milking this truck for three months, and dreading taking it to a shop. I finally ran across your vid today! Fixed within 5 minutes!!! Oh, and for you guys like me, that have handfuls of T25’s, but no T30…..a T25 WILL grab, as long as you don’t torque it too much.
I have the same problem. I looked under the dash and see everything you are showing. What if the screws on the bracket are not loose? I checked all the screws and the bracket is still tight. Appreciate any other thoughts.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG you are the man! Ive been driving around for like 3 weeks now with the car like that, having to park on flat surface or against the sidewalk, Thanks so much!
God bless you!
Glad to hear it. Thanks for watching.
Glad to help. It’s amazing what they charge an arm and a leg to do. Thanks for watching.
Wow – you nailed it!!!!! It took me 10 minutes to fix this very expensive problem. Thanks for posting!!!!!!!!!!
thank god it worked thx so much man you really pulled me out of a jam today!!
Thank you so much !
Had same problem, it was a 15 amp fuse on the brake circuit. Replaced fuse, problem solved. Thanks.
DUDE YOU ARE THE MAN THANKS MY NECK WAS ON THE URGE OF BREAKING TRYING TO FIGURE THOSE BASTARDS OUT THANKS AGAIN!!
Thanks Bro…!!
Great thread Bro!!!: I followed the same instructions in a Mercury Mountaineer 1997 and in a Ford Explorer 1998, you and your video helped me a lot. Thanx Bro
Awesome..this video just saved me a couple of hundred bucks!!
Thanks bro it help for me
Hey awsome video..saved me over 100 thanks
This video was spot on. My 2001 F150 had this exact issue and this video helped me diagnose and fix the issue. The two screws you spoke about the same amount of loose as your video shows. it all took about 10 minutes to fix. Thanks, you saved me a huge repair bill.
Man, I’ve been struggling with this thing not shifting into park and hardly shifting into anything and having to put bricks under my tires to prevent truck from rolling. this was great help! Thank you! Now gonna work on my E-brake!
Thanks for watching. Glad it helped you. Makes me think of how many people have already paid hundreds of dollars to correct this. I will keep making videos on any jobs I do on this truck.
That’s great. Glad I could help. Thanks for watching.
Glad to hear. Thanks for watching. GOD bless you.
