Same issue on my 2001 XLT Ford F150.remove loose torx & put blue lock tite and reinstall bolts. I replaced the easier back bushing. It tighten things up well. Also the shifter handle was sloppy. Pulled pin out &:installed metal shim on top & bottom and reinstalled pin thru shift handle. My truck has 165,000 miles. It's a 4.6L. I would say it's 90% better. I hope this helps some one.
👊🔧🚗🇺🇸
I found the bolt on the floor by my feet. Truck was barely shifting. I used an Allen wrench instead of star head to tighten both back up. Now it shifts like new!
Thank you!
Nice caught it just in time thanks for the feedback 👍🔧🚗💯🇺🇲
Ive been thinking i blew my parking pin doing a burnout my truck rolled across exxon parking lot one day and since i been blocking my wheel everywhere i go this video got to the point and helped me so much💯💪
Thank you for the feedback glad to help 🚗🔧👊🙌🙏🇺🇸
Your video saved me! I went on an errand today and on the way home I heard something fall onto my floor mat. At a stoplight, I found the errant bolt (snub end; torx bolt; NEVER SAW ONE LIKE THIS BEFORE). I pull into my driveway and the truck won't shift into Park...in fact, Reverse feels like Park now but the truck is in Reverse. I try vainly to get it into Park...and put the E-brake on (it works?!!) to put some bricks under the tires. That's not going anywhere. 😁 Next, I crawl under the truck and inspect the shift linkage...all looks fine. BUMMER! Time to go on RUclips. I found your video, saw the errant bolt (looks just like the one I found on the floormat) and about 5 mins later, I had it back in, BOTH tightened, and she shifts like she's brand new (2001 F350 ExCab Dually 4x4 Longbed). SAVED!!! Thanks SO much...
Thank you for the feedback it's cool that this video is out there helping people makes me feel good 👍 🇺🇸🔧🚗 Thanks Again for commenting
Wow! You got pretty lucky,imagine if your parking brake wasn't good and your driveway was on a slope. I'm happy to hear that you were safe,and that it was an easy fix. I'm replacing my lil brothers shifter cable tomorrow and was doing a bit of research first.
Good story and great video,thank you both for sharing.
Also they can be become stripped if loose for too long.
Then you can tap install new bolt .
Good work man !
Thanks brother appreciate the feedback 👊🇺🇸🔧🚗
Thanks for the info. Saved me a lot of time. Saved my 93, had on bolt holding on for life.
Right on glad I could help would appreciate a subscribe

7.3 is one of the best motors ever made if not THE best

Thanks for the feedback 🙏🙌🚗🔧👊🇺🇸
GREAT video. Gonna pre-emptively check these bolts on my F-350.
Good information, and one of my screws did fall out, found it and reinstalled it. Have new bushing coming tomorrow via Amazon. They are worn as well but now I can shift and drive. Thanks.
Thanks for the feed back 👍🔧🚗🇺🇲💪
Thanks man I was about to take my truck into the shop Ashley had the number dialed up to one last. Look at RUclips. Glad you had this video. I appreciate you.
Good deal thanks for the feed back 👍🚗🔧💪🇺🇸
This was the fix.
Thank you sir for posting!
Excellent video! I just started having this problem on my 2002 F-250. You just saved me a bunch of time. I was thinking it was a problem with the transmission linkage. I was going to start diagnosing by the transmission. Thank you! 🙏
Your very welcome 🙏 thanks for the feedback 👍🚗🔧💯🇺🇲
@@fordtechlife Before you start tightening the two screws, is the truck in the park or neutral position? Sorry if it sounds like a dumb question... I'd really appreciate your help!
@lakernatic88 sorry just now seeing this on them screws it don't matter where it at lol hope all went well 👍 🚗🔧🇺🇸
I’ve had those shifter tube bolts loosen as well. Have to lower the steering column though, there are 4 studs under the column that hold it up
Bro helped me out huge sure enough exactly what it was i cant thank you enough buddy my new ford buddy
Thanks for the feedback GLAD that it helped you out 👊🔧🚗🇺🇸
Thanks much for the good video. Time now to tackle my E350 shifter.
Thanks, glad it can help thanks for watching and leaving a comment 👍🇺🇸🔧🔴
Thanks bro
Guys like you make the world go round
Appreciate the good words 🔧🚗👊🇺🇸
I've got a 00 & 04 F250. The 00 always had column bolts backing out. I got in the 04 this morning and the shifter is all sloppy in the column. It feels like more than just a bad bushing. I guess it's a common issue after all.
Put some lock tight on the bolts will help 👊🇺🇸🙌💪🔧🚗
Ahhhh, if only the 7.3 oil pan was as easy 😡
That job was a ball buster
Worked for me.
That was an easy fix, thanks!
Glad I could help thanks for the feed back 💪👊🇺🇲👍🔴🔧🚗
I have this same problem with my 1994 ford f350 7.3 turbo diesel At times I have to shift outta gear to get it start. I also have a problem getting it to shift into Park. I now have to go out and check my shifter and see if those bolts are lose... Thanks for sharing this info with us. I have subbed your channel, Thumbs UP !
UPDATE: After checking this out, I found that my bolts was not lose. They was tight. So not sure where to go from here. may have to take it a shop.
Did you fix it? Mine is sloppy truck won’t move it won’t catch gears really
@@stitchthisditchthat259 I had to order a new shift cable, I've not had it put on as of yet. So for me, it's the shift cable that is the problem. I found my replacement cable on Ebay. Good luck with your fix...
@@RogerSayers how did you fix it then if your bolts were tight and you didn’t replace the cable?
@@stitchthisditchthat259 it's kind of hard to explain. If you get under the truck and have someone move the gear selector, you under the truck watching the the gear selector cable, you might see that the sheeth is moving back and forth. How did I fix it? Temporarily it's fixed with the Red Neck cure, bailing wire. Wrapped around the sheeth and then to the bracket that holds the sheeth. As long as that cable sheeth moves back and forth, your not gonna be able to shift the tranny as needed.
I just fixed my truck thanks
Appreciate the feedback 👊🇺🇸🚗🔧
Awesome feeling doing it yourself and getting it right huh. Thank you for sharing and thank you uploader for posting.
My 99 has been giving me trouble. This helps.
Also- on the upper end I did the upper nylon shaft bushings & tightened them down. Still not as tight as I'd prefer, I'd love for it to be tighter than factory, but worlds better
Good deal, yes the bushings get alot of wear good to put a little blue grease on them to, thanks for leaving a comment 👍👍🙏🇺🇲💯💪🔧🚗
@@fordtechlife no problem, you're welcome. Least I could do, you're out here helping people keep their stuff together & operating
My shift lever just fell limp today. I have a 2000 F250 v10. I hope I can fix the problem.
This should help you out un less the cable broke I'm sure you will figure it out 🙌🚗🔧🙏💯🇺🇸
My people rammed the shifter so hard they broke the assembly.. and absolutely that same bolt is loose lol
👊🔧🚗🇺🇸💪
Thanks for the video, Easy fix for a 22 year old truck. Now I can let the wife drive it if she needs it. Until I was able to sort this out thanks to this video I was the only one to drive it since it was tricky to start or park it...
Thanks For the feedback I'm glad it helped you out, thanks for checking out my page 👍🔧🚗👊🇺🇸
What is the silver piece that you screw the bolts into? I was tightening my screws today after having an issue and the silver piece was so brittle it broke.
Sounds like the shifter shaft tube Assy 🔧🚗🇺🇸👊
Fixed my truck! Thanks man!!!!
Thanks for the feedback 👍🇺🇲🔧🚗
@@fordtechlife any tips on putting in a radio with the factory wiring harness cut?
@@johnnynelson5160 aftermarket makes a radio harness that will plug in to the factory radio plug if you don't have that just use a test light find the 12volt power and the key on power and the ground the speaker wires you will have to figure out I would recommend getting a ford radio from a junk yard tho to replace original that way it's all plug and play 👍🇺🇲🔧🚗
Hey buddy thanks for you video you save the day so helpful
I'm glad it helped out Thanks 👊🇺🇸🔧🚗
Thank you!!
🔧🚗👊🇺🇸
Thanks
👊🇺🇸🙌🔧🚗
Thanks for the tip I tighten mine up and I'm good to go
👍🔧🚗👊🔴🙏🇺🇲
Hey Ford Tech, I have a f150 and the two bolts under dash on column always try coming loose and steering slop. Tighten up and good to go for another 6 months to a year. Thata my easy fix. I asked in your channel discussion page "What do u think about a throttle body spacer in a 5.0 2012 GT? Looking at one at American Muscle. Let me know how to converse with you about these things. We met at Lamarosa speedway
oops I jumped the gun. Should have waited until end of video. Thanks for sharing
Throttle body spacers are ok not sure that you will feel much difference tho a good cold air intake system tho will make a pretty good difference try putting some blue lock tight on them bolts or red any is better then none im on Instagram @fordtechlife or on here like this i will eventually get to you 👍🇺🇸🔧🔴🚘
@@fordtechlife Great tips, thanks. I have a great JLB cold air intake. It is lowered and has a tune. Not sure about what kind of tune but it does pretty well. I bought it this summer and from what my mechanic buddy says all the mods are done right with quality pieces. I am seriously thinking about puttin OEM springs back on to make the ride a bit better. Feeling all the bumps,
I hate those bolts. You need to be double jointed or small hands half the time to reach some of em.
That was the problem. Thanks!
Thank you Sir for the feed back 👍🚗🔧🇺🇸
Mine where you tighten the bolt was broke, where can i find that part?
Junk yard or ford dealer 👊🇺🇸🚗🔧
both my bolts fell out one broke in half can i just put new ones in?
If the threads in the shaft holes are still good and will tighten up and you can get that other half of the bolt out 🔧🚗🙏🙌🇺🇸
Nice video. That was the issue on the truck I'm working on. Thanks
Mine isn’t loose but I have same issue. I don’t have a neutral safety switch mounted to my transmission, it’s just a lever, where would it be?
Ie. batteries, alternator and starter are all new. I just can’t find the neutral safety switch to adjust it. TYA
Should be on the side of the transmission behind the lever with the harness wires going to it MLP switch lever turns the shaft the MLP is mounted to the shaft senses shaft position
My ford e250 with 323k had this problem. I had a broken bracket in the shift tube as well as the loose bolts.
323 miles nice i haven't seen any vans thro the dealer with that concern yet lots of trucks tho thanks for the support & watchin 👍🇺🇸🔧🚘🔴
@@fordtechlife Its a 2004, my carpet cleaning work van. Super reliable, I replaced the radiator, starter, and tensioner assembly last year though. Needs an ac compressor due to being noisy
My shifter just flops around, gonna have to try this
Maybe loose but if it's floping the shaft might be broke or the pin might have come out of the lever 👍🔧🚗💯🇺🇲
Probably one of those two idea's, I just checked the tightness of those bokts yiu showed us and they were tight ad could be. So guess I'll be replacing the shifter lever
Good vid! Thanks!
Thank you Sir 🙏 🚗🔧🇺🇸👊
Thanks for the video I have the same issue and I replaced the bushings and My bolts are tighten always have been and I still have the same issue, I have to fiddle with the shifter so I can start, can is be the shifter tube itself? Any advice would help
The shaft it self and lever could be worn out or the shift cable may have come out of its bracket or is not secure or the lever on the transmission might be loose give it a good look 💪🇺🇲💯🔧🚗over
@@fordtechlife thank you so much
@@ebloulou4203 No Prob Anytime 💪🇺🇲💯🔧🚗👍
Ok so what is that part called that the screws are in
Shifter shaft tube 🔧🚗🇺🇸👊
Nice job as usual. I like that body style. I've been thinking of getting an excursion of that same style.
Excursions are good but the 6.0 engine is so so if you can find one with an old 7.3 in it that would be a good truck the 6.0 can be awesome if you were to bulletproof it but that is spending a lot of money 👍🇺🇸🔧🚘🔴
@@fordtechlife Do the 6.0s not hold up longterm?
@@GearHead704 they just tend to have a lot of issues especially the older ones like the 03 04 don't get me wrong when they run right they are fast and they run good but when they break it could be a number of different things causing different issues and none of it is cheap we're about eight grand you can bulletproof them which is putting studs in the block EGR cooler and some other thing check out NorCal diesel on my Instagram good friend of mine is the champion at 6 O's 👍🇺🇸🔧🔴🚘
@@fordtechlife I hear that the old diesels in Fords had internal expensive problem with oil and oil pump. Is that true and what years became better?
@@oldfart43311 the 7.3 was good the 6.0 was great when it was running right but add some oil concerns with the oil pump and the pressure fittings and a few other things lol 6.4 was okay kind of suck but the 6.7 have been great 👍🇺🇸🔧🔴🚘
What happens if they fall all the way out?
Hope you can get them back in OK chance of messing up the threads in the screw holes and It probably won't shift with them all the way out 🇺🇸🔧🚗👊
What size are these screws.... I know it's a t30 torx but I need to know a thread.
I'll find out pretty sure its mm but I'll let you know for sure
The ford catalog doesn't give the size I think it's 7mm 1.25 but here's the part # s they are like 5.00$ Our Part # FORD05A
OEM # N806584-S36
Fits Makes: Ford Cars & Trucks
Fits Years: 1992-2008
What size 30mm bolts are they.. I just had one of the 2 shear off ... 1 inch? Or smaller thank you
Ya they are about a inch long or slightly shorter 🇺🇲🔴💪🔧
@@fordtechlife thank you wish me luck i have no idea how im going get the stud out lol
@@kromthedestroyer4672 worse case might have to get a new shaft or used from a wrecking yard with the screws or new from a dealer Wrecking yard probably want to say the whole column unless you find a picking pull and you can go take it apart yourself
Will this fix if your lever is like really stuck and you have to wiggle it a bit to change gear or have a delay on shifting from park to drive?
No prob not that sounds like a binding cable or trans issue possibly 🤔 sometimes a delay could be low fluid 🇺🇲🚗🔧🙏
@@fordtechlife my fluid is good but I caint pin point the issue
@@alvinomartinez6549 disconnect cable from shift lever and from trans lever slide it back and forth should slide easy if it's hard cable binding with cable disconnected you can feel the shift lever as well if all is good drop the pan make sure filter is in place and no metal parts in pan 👍💪🔧🚗
Clean truck
I've got a video on my frankentruck if you're interested. And a model of a canadian 5qaud
On my truck, The metal piece where the bracket sits onto cracked where one of the bolts go. I have no idea how to get that fixed or replaced. Does anybody know?
The pot metal thing where the screws go in is the shifter shaft ? If I'm understanding standing you correctly
@@fordtechlife Is there a way I can send you a video of what it is? Right underneath those screws, the metal piece cracked on one side so the bolt cannot screw in
@@fordtechlife Yea I think your right, I think im just confused because the video is looking backwards and from underneath
@@stanleylara264 you can upload a video on here but I'm pretty sure it's the shifter shaft that's what the 2 screws go in to and you might as well do the shaft bushings to if your gonna be that far into it 👍👊🔧🚗🇺🇲
@@stanleylara264 here is a video on the shaft replacement I don't pull the column all the way out like that I just drop it down a little let it rest on the seat ruclips.net/video/5EHZu9Tac4c/видео.html
Wonder if you would know why my Obd2 port on my 2016 mustang has no power checked all the under hood fuses and they are all good.
That Port is usually a 5 amp fuse I want to say it's located in the body control module under the dash data link connector fuse👍🇺🇸🔧💯🚘
FordTech it did end up being a fuse thanks for the help
i have 2008 same issue
Well I had plenty of time to go make a sandwich while you finally got to the point. Thanks for the help
Lol you're welcome hopefully you put extra mayo on it 👊💪🇺🇸🙌🚗🔧
Thanks this helps a lot!!!
Dude drop the steering there is four bokts to drop the colum take three off all the way loosen the forth to get colum down low then ontop there is four torx screws that come loose the one bushing is a rubber thickness of a 32second not likely the problem most likely loose bokts on top of
What would you think could be the issue if the bolts you talking about is still super tight. Shift interlock solenoid was replaced thinking that was the issue but it wasn't
What to do if I lost both screws already?... Lol
They are a fine thread very common screw your local ford dealer probably keeps them in stock we do 🚗🔧👊🇺🇸
Problem is, the threads that take the screw broke off. Can I replace that part? What is it called?
Dig the blooper too LOL
Thanks Buddy, I appreciate the support and the Comments 👍🇺🇸🔧🚘🔴
T30 Thanks
No Prob hope it helped 💪👊🇺🇸🔴💯appreciate a sub 👍
Do you have a link for the replacement bushings?
No I'm sure you can get them aftermarket but you can get them from your local ford dealer for about 12 bucks shifter shaft bushings and they're very common to go out so I'm sure your dealer has them in stock
Cool shit, brother
Will this be the same for a 2007
Be very close if not the same 250 and up 💪🔥👊🇺🇲🔴🔧
I was wondering if you would watch if me and my buddy built a hillbilly cabin in the woods?
I watch everything brother 👍🇺🇸🔧🚘🔴
Holy Moly, where are you at. That undercarriage looks so clean for vehicle age. Me Ohio
Northern California 👍🇺🇸🔧🔴🚘
@@fordtechlife I need a 66 fastback or chevy 2 two door with no rust. Hell I would ettle for a 69-72 bronco. Cheap of course. Looking forward to retirement and guess what I want to do???lol
Lol same here I’m in Ohio and man mine is rusty
Mine straight up broke, so screwed today
Just broke 1 hour ago on my 1999 Super duty pickup. Shifter plate sheered off the transmission.
You were using the wrong torx bit , its actually t30. You’re lucky you didnt strip those
If you watch closely I beleave I mentioned that thanks for the comment definitely don't wanna strip it 🤣🔧🚗💯💪🇺🇲
@@fordtechlife you probably did but it was hard to listen with all the trucks going by when i was watching
Sorry, this didn't fix a damn thing. If anything it made it a little worse. The top bolt was loose but the play in the shifter remains
Your shifter shaft and or bushing are toast then time to go deep or the lever on the transmission is loose 🔧🚗💪🇺🇲😭🤣 thanks for commenting
I paused at 3 minutes in still no info, man 3 minutes of blah blah ... I will continue hope to get the info I need
Hope you got the info you needed wouldn't want to waste 10 min of your life 🔧🚗🇺🇲💯💪👍 bla bla bla 🤣
5:24 get you right to the spot 💯💪👍🇺🇲🔧🚗
@@fordtechlife you did great on the video. Theres plenty of forums if he wants to get straight to the point
@@pattypatek8229 thanks 😊 🙏 🔧🚗💯
Good video but music sucks
Thanks for the feed back good friend of mines music 🎶 let him know I think his link is in the description 🚗🔧👍🇺🇲
@@fordtechlifelmfao!!! Let your friend know his music sucks?! Lol
Props for the informative video,and for helping your friend share his "sucky" music "I didn't think it was that bad myself" but you're a good friend for using his tunes and linking him.
Future advice.. just get to the point.. thanks..
Its called fast forward your welcome thanks 💪🇺🇸🔴🔧
Over explained get to the point
Thanks for the feed back I'll take note 👊💯🇺🇲💪🔧
The slop is because the rubber grommets wear out , and the replacement tubes from auto parts store dose not replace the grommet.
Shifter Shaft Bushings it's good to grease them up a little when replacing them 👍👊🔧🚗🇺🇸
On my truck, The metal piece where the bracket sits onto cracked where one of the bolts go. I have no idea how to get that fixed or replaced. Does anybody know?
