Ive had this issue for awhile but now when i go to park it and let go of the brake it will roll back a lil and then the shifter sounds like it kicks in park. lil freaky

but the shifter doesnt line up with the PRND12 positions-its a little to the right (so when i go to shift into D the lever is almost on the 1)

i did take a look under the dash and found this-dont know if this is whats causing it though

this is not a pic of mine-i got this of a site in my search
looking for directions to fix the problem.

 

i think that black thumbwheel is for tension adjustment...dont hold me to that though

 

i beleive the two white pieces are broken. the attachment pic i put is what it should look like.
i know i tried to adjust the wheel but it didnt do much for the shifter

 

yea then they might be broken then

 

any idea how to fix them?

 

replace them...looks super easy to do

 

once this snow goes away-ill get a better look at it and prob a better understanding of it and how it works. thanks

 

Hit up the junk yard. They're probably have one in a truck thats the right way.

 

thats a good idea too! im jus confused on how to disconnect the cable to get the thumb wheel off and that white bracket

 

Junkyard again. If you ever don't know how to do anything, i'd say go to the junkyard and attempt to take it apart.
I think the way you take it apart is to screw the thumbscrew back, and you should be able to separate the black piece from the wire and it should come apart.

 

ok good. that is what im hoping for. on the other site the guy was talking about taking a 10/24 nut i think and screwing that down and then the white braket and then the thumb screw and again another nut.

 

Yea, he added a spacer to it. Anything will work really as long as it can stand the tension.

 

see if i can see if ford sells the part (i dont know any good junk yards around here) and if not ill go that spacer route.
