Buddy you got to watch the video all the way through and then you have to go to my previous 22s43 advance notice recall which they don't even have parts for but I explain all that in this video and this is for the people that only got the shifter cable bushing recall before and they get the advance notices and if you have any questions on whether or not this is going to be active on your vehicle when they finally have parts available in the fourth quarter call your local dealer or go to my previous video and see if your vehicle was built within those build dates that I specify on the video
And no it cannot be installed in all different models of these it's only specified years that are in the recall which I already put that information out
For anyone struggling to put this in. Someone commented to put the bushing in some warm water for a minute or so. This helped so much! All you gotta do is warm up a cup of hot water I put mine in the microwave for 2 minutes, after that I dropped the bushing in there and let it sit for 3 mins. After that I went to put it back in and sure enough it popped right in place.
Thank you so much for this video. My 2019 Ford Fusion got this shift system fault error on August 27th, 2023. I called Ford and tried explaining the issue to a Ford service advisor over the phone, but he kept insisting that it's my transmission that has failed, and that I need to tow it in. Here's the other problem: The Ford dealership also won't be able to look at my car until end of October. I called three other Ford dealerships and they all didn't have any sooner appointment. So, I towed my car to the Ford dealership where it sat there, until I discovered your video three days ago (September 6th). I bought the bushing and the cover part for a total of $4.90 at the dealership that had my car, towed my car back home (luckily I have Emergency Road Service through Geico, so towing was covered), and it took me approximately 7 minutes to install. Ford needs to extend the recall to 2019 Ford Fusion as they still came with the old white flimsy bushing. Again, thank you very much for your help. ✌🏿
You can fix it with two zip ties temporary. Run one through shift cable where the bushing goes leaving a little gap for the second to go through, run the second through the first one with the cable on the shift linkage, then wrap the second around the shift linkage and pull both zip ties tight. I ran like this on my car for three weeks until my replacement came in. Just recently put one on my nice’s car, until she could get it in to the dealership. Hope this helps, they seem to break at the worst time, keep a few zip ties in your vehicle just in case.
After many years I been on the internet this video is very informative and I have to say thank you as I was stuck- I must add that if you are stuck in reverse or like I was parked but it said neutral you have to have the transmission lever to position P. SO I had it in N car off I then lightly two clicks to the left or towards the front end and then it was in P then the part would fit on top aligned
Video helped out a lot got stuck at the gym after a workout and couldn’t figure out what was wrong did some research and scene this video and it was the exact problem car been running fine since the fix keep helping out the less fortunate brother💯
When I see you next, I’ll see if there’s any recalls on my Lincoln & my brothers explorer. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, it’s greatly appreciated. I’m so thankful for you in my life & I’ve learned way more than just checking my oil level & washer fluid. God bless you & your family. I’m always here for you too
Just happend to me this morning on a weekend and my local dealership is closed, went to local parts store and they had a Dorman Bushing Kit Part#14057 ($20 tax incl.) and it was a perfect fit, worked like a charm. Thanks for this, install process was pretty much the same.
Crumbled away and left me stranded on my 2000 Pontiac Montana last year, so it’s a GM thing too. Looked it up and it seems common but all the parts catalogs specifically excluded the 2000 year model from the compatible bushing. Bought the 2001+ part anyway and it fit perfectly. Exact same vehicle as the Olds Silhouette and Chevy Venture. I bet the Aztecs from that era do the same thing (same U-platform).
I work for a dealership as a mobile tech mainly doing airbags for Chryslers & these little bastards lately. Always looking for tips and new ways to do things this was one of the better videos I've seen so thanks for that
This morning is the THIRD time this year ive had an issue with this cap! Between watchin this video and the tow truck drivers im getting ready to go do this shit myself 😂😂😂
This was exactly what I needed, thank you! My 2017 Fusion isn’t part of the recall but the bushing was gone nonetheless. $1.84 and 10 minutes of my time later and I was good to go!
No need to even tow, if it plops off you can put it back on the nob. If it doesnt line up you can(WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ON) shift it to drive and push in and place it on the nob and you will be able to shift again. While this issue occurs and your waiting for new part or whatever shift slowly as that also helps it not fall off.
Mechanics make this look easy. Thank you for the demonstration. It was a pain in the ass for this weekend warrior -- tight angle, couldn't see. Took several tries but it finally slipped in.
Thanks for this info! I just had the same error Saturday and I was freaking out until I saw this. I pulled the air box off my 2020 Fusion and guess what? Shift arm bushing disintegrated. Replaced it today with the help of your video. Saved me a tow bill and labor. Fixed it myself for $4.38. Parts guy told me to buy 2 and keep one in my glove compartment😂. So i did...
@@shaynemauer3548 thank you- I called all my local auto parts stores they can’t get it either bc it’s a “Ford Specific” part but I did order one from Rock Auto for $2.90 paid more for Priority Shipping than for the part and this particular piece is broken in half on my car-
Good information Rich. Darn engineers are drunk on plastic ! Its also a good practice to use a razor blade or scissors to open those plastic bags that parts come in. For one, it will allow for any printing on the package to still be readable once its opened and it helps if the part has to be returned to the parts guy or parts store as they usually will want to read the print on the bags. I started doing that after a parts guy told me one day years back, "I can't read this so its not returnable". Happened to be an expensive part so I changed my way and have never had issues since. Sometimes I will keep the bag and the old part too for a spare and tape the one side that was cut open, at least I have the part number saved with the old part.
I just saw your post. Yup... plastic. Should never be used on an automobile except for the interior parts. I was able to temp fix mine with a strong alligator clip attached to the post to hold it on long enough to get to the dealership.
Good information Rich. I have been keeping an eye on mine, no problems so far; but I just receive Safety Recall Notice 22S43/NHTSA Recall 22V413. It basically instructs me that when parts are available, we will let you know. As for now set your parking brake when you shift into park and see that the instrument cluster shows a park position. Thanks for the heads up, before Ford let me know.
Great video my 07 JK had the same shift cable bushings failure under the shifter left people stranded who didn’t know how to remove shift lever cover and pull lever. Everything has problems. EVERYTHING 👊🏻
The cable is in a different place on my 2015 Fusion Titanium Hybrid. It is down in front in a vertical position in a very easily accessible place. Visual inspection shows it fine right now, but I will replace when the part gets here. Thanks for the part number.
Look at my video on the years that apply to this all right keep referencing people to look and they don't look ruclips.net/video/F64zx80ARzw/видео.html
Glad I found your page this happened to me while driving 2 weeks ago its after I make a u turn came out of reverse into drive starting rolling back wards. No one was hurt but very dangerous. Towed it to the dealer and there was 2 additional recalls. No more fords for me. Fusion 2013
Work being done is called ⬇️⬇️ Transmission Shift Linkage Bushing Replacement Parts Needed ⬇️⬇️ FORD DG9Z-7K340-A (Bushing Linkage) DG9Z-7S004-A (this part is a cover that goes on top to keep this part clean) 👏👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟🌟 Video was extremely helpful
So I am picking up my pizza and I get into my 2020. I received the message. So anyhow, I found your video. I put it in place just to get home. I will call around tomorrow looking for that part. By the way, the bushel was completely gone.. Thank you!!
Quick tip - was told by parts guy. Drop the bushing in a cup of hot water for like 5 min. NOT boiling just hot water. (I filled a normal coffee cup less than half with water thru in microwave for 1 min)The bushing gets a lil playable and pops right in. And becarful putting the dust cover on, you can push the car into I assume neutral. As my car started rolling back on me. lol. Use the parking brake. And I asked my Ford dealer and they said there was no recall on my 17 Fusion for this part. Bushing and cap were 14$ for me at Ford dealer.
Good report sir! I received a recall notice in the mail about this along with a couple other recall issues for my 2017 Edge. While you are on transmissions, is there a way to pull the transmission lines to the cooler and let the transmission pump new clean fluid thru the transmission. I changed my fluid by draining four qts. At a time and driving it to mix it and draining four more qts. and doing that three times. That sucks.
A spherical plain bearing would work best in place of this bushing but cost slightly more. A rod end bearing with its threaded shaft could replace that whole end piece. It operates a lot and plastic will continue to fail
You’ve got to get this fixed. I’m in a situation now where no auto has the bushing but the ford dealership and that’s 103 dollars. Then I have to take it to the shop to get put on . I have the fact that car shops will charge you high labor price for this situation. So this is just a temporary fix until you take it to get done somewhere
LOL ... The local dealers gave us a 3 to 6 week wait to get the part in. I ordered one on Amazon and replaced it August 19, 2022. Today the replacement stopped working so tomorrow I'll grab the spare and do it again. our Ford dealers here want us to bring the car in to go over all recalls, but say it could be months before they are able to fulfill the recalls. Thank goodness I grew up following my daddy under every car hood and into every lawn mower motor.
Low and behold I’m sure the fiesta’s are Next! My fiesta was in park and the E brake engaged. Rolled down a hill, down the boat ramp and into the water. 3/4 of my car was submerged. You think Ford should repair my damages?
In the mid 90s there was TSB for the AOD transmission kickdown. Very similar part/setup. Rubber part replaced with metal insert and clip. That part could eventually wreck the trans if disconnected. Not a safety recall cause it can't really cause injury.
Thank you. I'm about to change mine. I don't want to give my car to FORD. It's well maintained but they will find something to charge me for like the last recall I bought it in for. My bushing doesn't look bad but the car is 9 years old and I was woindering how to pry it up to replace it with the new one. Thank you again.
Awesome video! I was fighting to get mine on.. Mostly because I was doing it from the wrong side and bush was already gone. Now I wont have to shift my car manually with the E brake on just to get to work and back. Thanks Ford! Shit design, if the center post going through the bushing was longer you could at least get by with no bushing. The post is so short your 99% F'd when that bushing goes..
It seems like a pretty basic fix. It must be a problem with the plastic material that was picked for that bushing. There must be a better formula they can make them out of.
I had my car stuck in park at Tim Hortons drive thru because of the bushing failing. Cold -14c morning and some very angry commuters who couldn’t get their morning coffee because of that bushing leaving my car stranded. It took me 30 minutes to figure out what happen and to get my car back into drive. This happen before the first recall was issued and the Ford dealer replaced the bushing with the exacted same one that was failing. Needless to say I have the updated bushing sitting in my glove box waiting for the day when the replacement fails.
You have to get in the vehicle, set the parking brake engine off and shift the lever out of park to drive Then when your done put it back on the transmission shift lever and get back in and put it in park I know I have a video probably more than 1 showing this
I had this happened to me yesterday it says shifter system fault look under the hood and bushing wasn’t their 😢so I wasn’t able to drive sinces it will go right back to park , I hooked it back on and it’s working so now On my way! To get a shifter bushing to put it on
Garbage. Reading through these comments here I can see getting rid of my 2017 "fix or repair daily" Edge was the best decision I made in these last couple of years. When I started to hear the transmission making noises, like a loud pop coming out of park and on a few occasions have it feel like it was going to violently drop out from under the vehicle when I'd put it into gear to pull out of the garage.. I knew it had to go. Worse shifting transmission I have ever drove, never seemed to want shift into passing gear smoothly it would hang/surge and you'd have to stomp your foot into it to get it to move and doing that was always overkill but when you need to MOVE you didn't have a choice or you risk getting hit. For a 285 hp 3.5 v6 it drove like a worn out dog getting onto highways because of that gearbox. It couldn't get out of its own way.
I have a 1993 Ford Ranger that has a loose shift. The issue is under the hood not on the transmission. Is there a bushing on that end ender the hood. Or do i need a new cable.
My brother had his pickup on Jack stands while he was under it trying to fix that and somhow the truck came off the stands and drug him around his lawn till it hit a tree. Banged him up good he's lucky it didnt run him over.
@@FordBossMe well, my girlfriend was freaking out about her car I already knew it wasn’t the transmission because it still shifted into gear just wasnt to sure what it was
I have a 2013 Ford escape I happened to put the vehicle into park. Heard a knock noise coming from the transmission area while putting my vehicle in park when I came back to the vehicle put it in drive. My transmission was damaged and wasn’t running properly. I came in searched. Found your video here on RUclips then went to look at the same part. You are replacing and not mine is missing is it possible that it can damage the transmission like this and would be liable because it is under recall ?
This happened to me over this past weekend!!! I have a 2020. Got under hood and checked, bushing was gone. Just replaced yesterday and now my check engine light is on...what could cause that? It wasn't on before it was replaced..
check engine light will come on because it doesn't know what gear it's supposed to be in before this happened so what you need to do is clear the light or get the codes checked before you clear it
Does the wrench light typically go on? I can’t get mine out of park and the wrench light is coming on if I touch it but when in restart the car and do nothing it’s no on
I just had to fix mine. Who thought it was a good idea to use a plastic bushing on something as important as shift linkage?? Especially since it is right above a very hot transmission?? What's wrong with METAL bolt and nut? Even the "fix" is plastic. How long before it fails? I hope they didn't use the same plastic crap on the brake system. Like we say in the aircraft maintenance business.... it takes a college education to design and break them, and a high school education to fix them. LOL
I have a 2012 transit connect and my gear shift position is in the middle of park and reverse when reversing and I'm neutral when driving. Will this fix my issue?
@@FordBossMe I had the fun of replacing it on my wife's Escape. It was fairly easy. Just saw this video pop up in the search.. and thought I'd just share the part number. 😎👍👍 Thanks for the video.
Which recall number is that? Can that bushing be installed in the older trucks that the bushing in the cable always fails?

Was it easy to put in? I have the same piece for my 2017 ford fusion and I’m about to try to put it on
Cheap 5 cent part can sure cause alot of issues.
This just happened on my fusion, good thing for RUclips a lot of shops would just sell you a transmission if you didn’t know any better.
Crumbled away and left me stranded on my 2000 Pontiac Montana last year, so it’s a GM thing too. Looked it up and it seems common but all the parts catalogs specifically excluded the 2000 year model from the compatible bushing. Bought the 2001+ part anyway and it fit perfectly. Exact same vehicle as the Olds Silhouette and Chevy Venture. I bet the Aztecs from that era do the same thing (same U-platform).
This just happened to me in my 2016 fusion...I was stuck in drive 😅 parts were just like 4 bucks but it feels like a dumb problem to have 😂
I agree. Dealing with this now 2018 model

Now I wont have to shift my car manually with the E brake on just to get to work and back. Thanks Ford! Shit design, if the center post going through the bushing was longer you could at least get by with no bushing. The post is so short your 99% F'd when that bushing goes..
It seems like a pretty basic fix. It must be a problem with the plastic material that was picked for that bushing. There must be a better formula they can make them out of.
Most shops would have sold the customer a new transmission.
I learned from you. I then made my own video and linked this video in my description.
My 2017 fusions just went out ordered the 20$ bushing on Amazon should be here tommorow.
My god this helped me SO MUCH! Im going to fix my car after work todaya
Is there a metal alternative? I've been through 3 of these in the past year....although its cheap, it's getting old
Idk honestly
Great video! 🙂🐶🐕👋🏻
Made this change on 2017 MKZ with 2.0 motor. Nothing to remove, just pop in bushing and clip back on arm and good to go.
I had my car stuck in park at Tim Hortons drive thru because of the bushing failing. Cold -14c morning and some very angry commuters who couldn’t get their morning coffee because of that bushing leaving my car stranded. It took me 30 minutes to figure out what happen and to get my car back into drive. This happen before the first recall was issued and the Ford dealer replaced the bushing with the exacted same one that was failing. Needless to say I have the updated bushing sitting in my glove box waiting for the day when the replacement fails.
Now that you have a spare, you'll never need it. Nice if the bushing came with a new cover, too. Little things are like 10mm sockets and disappear ;-)
Very nice work and great video 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
why replace a rubber bushing with a rubber bushing...why not a bronze bushing?
How do you put the shifter back on if the rod won’t move?
You have to get in the vehicle, set the parking brake engine off and shift the lever out of park to drive
Then when your done put it back on the transmission shift lever and get back in and put it in park
I know I have a video probably more than 1 showing this
i seen alot of those bushings go bad on AOD TV cable ends.the slack created really reduces TV movement range.
You save my life Boss thank youuu
Can you change the part that the bushing pops into? After many attempts at getting bushing into hole it cracked.
Great video man, Thank you.
Awesome! Thanks for this video: you’re the man!
Just spent $200 on that for a fusion that had popped off while at work.
So it’s always supposed to keep disengrating ? I changed 3 times now
Thank you for teach us. God blesse you
Can you add the part numbers to the video description please.
I had this happened to me yesterday it says shifter system fault look under the hood and bushing wasn’t their 😢so I wasn’t able to drive sinces it will go right back to park , I hooked it back on and it’s working so now On my way! To get a shifter bushing to put it on
Thank you so much for the part numbers
NEW Ford Part # as of 11-8-22 (I just bought one at the Ford dealer): KV6Z-7K340-A
It's posted in a newer video
I’ve done this on a few 2014 escapes. Our local ford dealer said no warranty. They don’t sell the bushing either, only the entire cable.
Figures.
Would you pls let me know where can I find that bushings cause the ones I found don’t even fit at all
Or how should I ask for that
I’d just buy the cable is $100. That’s what I told the customers to do. Not worth coming off again and getting stuck.
Thank You!
Saved my ass today.
Garbage.
Reading through these comments here I can see getting rid of my 2017 "fix or repair daily" Edge was the best decision I made in these last couple of years.
When I started to hear the transmission making noises, like a loud pop coming out of park and on a few occasions have it feel like it was going to violently drop out from under the vehicle when I'd put it into gear to pull out of the garage.. I knew it had to go. Worse shifting transmission I have ever drove, never seemed to want shift into passing gear smoothly it would hang/surge and you'd have to stomp your foot into it to get it to move and doing that was always overkill but when you need to MOVE you didn't have a choice or you risk getting hit.
For a 285 hp 3.5 v6 it drove like a worn out dog getting onto highways because of that gearbox. It couldn't get out of its own way.
I have a 1993 Ford Ranger that has a loose shift. The issue is under the hood not on the transmission. Is there a bushing on that end ender the hood. Or do i need a new cable.
It may be in the steering column where it is mounted
My brother had his pickup on Jack stands while he was under it trying to fix that and somhow the truck came off the stands and drug him around his lawn till it hit a tree. Banged him up good he's lucky it didnt run him over.
Wheel chocks save lives!
Mine is loose but pushed passed that mount how do i push it back?
mannn your video saved me thanks for the video!!!!
Yvw
What happened?
@@FordBossMe well, my girlfriend was freaking out about her car I already knew it wasn’t the transmission because it still shifted into gear just wasnt to sure what it was
@@mrrr407 I'm glad you found yourself here
My edge 2015 wont light up the shifter letters this fix helps?
I have a 2013 Ford escape I happened to put the vehicle into park. Heard a knock noise coming from the transmission area while putting my vehicle in park when I came back to the vehicle put it in drive. My transmission was damaged and wasn’t running properly. I came in searched. Found your video here on RUclips then went to look at the same part. You are replacing and not mine is missing is it possible that it can damage the transmission like this and would be liable because it is under recall ?
This happened to me over this past weekend!!! I have a 2020. Got under hood and checked, bushing was gone. Just replaced yesterday and now my check engine light is on...what could cause that? It wasn't on before it was replaced..
check engine light will come on because it doesn't know what gear it's supposed to be in before this happened so what you need to do is clear the light or get the codes checked before you clear it
Does the wrench light typically go on? I can’t get mine out of park and the wrench light is coming on if I touch it but when in restart the car and do nothing it’s no on
How do I remove that big annoying hose in the way
Is this where the bushing is located on a 2016 ford edge sport?
Thank you!!!
I just had to fix mine. Who thought it was a good idea to use a plastic bushing on something as important as shift linkage?? Especially since it is right above a very hot transmission?? What's wrong with METAL bolt and nut? Even the "fix" is plastic. How long before it fails? I hope they didn't use the same plastic crap on the brake system. Like we say in the aircraft maintenance business.... it takes a college education to design and break them, and a high school education to fix them. LOL
Nice job ! Your hired lol
Great video!
Helped a ton!!
I have a 2012 transit connect and my gear shift position is in the middle of park and reverse when reversing and I'm neutral when driving. Will this fix my issue?
It could but only if your sure you are capable and use all safety precautions
2014 ford fusion se #14055 bushing kit doesnt fit
Greatly Appreciated! Thank ya
Thank you I have a hybrid 2018 do you think I can use on my they want to sell my the all cable they said I can’t to get just the bushing
I went to the dealer, they are sending a mobile tech to me to do the repair. I had everything ready, but they didnt have the part in stock
Just saved my girlfriend a tow bill... hell yeah...
Nice
Thank you for this
Update: Part # KV6Z-7K340-A (yellow in color)

@@FordBossMe I had the fun of replacing it on my wife's Escape. It was fairly easy. Just saw this video pop up in the search.. and thought I'd just share the part number. 😎👍👍
Thanks for the video.
