I have the same problem one year ago. My mechanic helps me fixing the small conexion to the shifter. But yesterday i started again having some troubles with the start ignition (that means in a high probability, the cable isnt going on parking). So im thinking to fix again or changing the cable. Thanks to you and your knowledge i can do the procedure. New sub here my friend !!!!

Wow! I have the same issue with my 2007 Ford F-150 Lariat this morning. Did not know what was going on. This video helps me understanding the problem. I feel much better now. Thank you for sharing this video.

Mine went out yesterday (2005 F150)~ it's at the mechanic shop right now after being towed over there. Could be those 'yellow' bushings or change the entire cable like the OP is doing here - hope it ain't that... we'll see ~ thanks for the vid, big help in narrowing the problem down !

Glad it helped, Rick! Thanks for leaving a comment.

Just wanted to say this video helped me tremendously! Had to replace the whole shifter console and the detaching of the cable from the console was very helpful. Thank again. J

You can buy just the bushings as well if your cable is in good shape.

To find drive did you turn the truck off in neutral when making the adjustments?

I turned the truck off with the shifter in the drive position, then moved the arm on the transmission.

Where did you buy the replacement part?

I purchased it on Ebay.

I put the new cable in, and the shifter isn’t quite lined up when I put it into reverse and drive, what do I need to adjust to fix this

I experienced a similar issue. Did you try what I showed in the video: release the adjustment mechanism where the cable fixes to the pivoting arm, manually move the arm to "find" the gear, then lock the adjustment in place?

Does this work for 2004 ford f150?

The process is likely similar but I'm sure it would require a different cable.

What was the length of the cable?

@BlackHoleDIY

9 ай бұрын

Hi Misty. Unfortunately, I did not measure the cable's length before installing.

Why can’t you just replace the bushing that holds the cable to the shifter lug?

@BlackHoleDIY

12 күн бұрын

Hi Mark. I suppose you could. Another viewer had a similar comment. I wasn't considering that at the time and just went ahead and replaced the whole cable. But this is helpful for others who may elect to just replace the bushing. Thank you!
