97 shift problem
Gentlemen,
97 2wd 4lv6 od trans.Shift lever indicator works shows gears.
Lever got loose 2 weeks ago. Now can't get neutral reverse or park without going under and pushing lever manually.
I ordered new shift cable today.
I have had column down as far as I could without taking out completely.
My concern is it's not cable but maybe a spacer or plastic part in shift mech itself.
Anyone have this experience.?
I have had to drive regardless as its my busy season and can't lay it up except for one repair day , I hope.
Thanks in advance

shifter problem
Hi brensranger,
watched video helpful great link.
Those bolts not my problem.
Haynes manual less than helpful. I think there is bad spacer/washer nylon something bad in mech.
They are both tight. I don't have time today to pull column down. Ordered cable from ford even if that's not my problem I own it no returns. Sigh.
Thanks again FOR INFO. I am a stagehand on Long Island and in the middle of season for three venues. It will have to wait. I am now shutting truck off hitting e brake and crawling under to park. As long as I don't put myself in bad spot to get revers i can deal.
Thanks again for your help.
ll keep you posted.
