Transmission Shifter linkage fixed (5R110W, Most Ford, Lincoln, Mercury)

On my 2003 Ford Excursion, 6.0L, with the five-speed TorqShift, 5R110W, the shift cable to transmission gear selector plastic bushing failed. This allowed the shift cable to separate from the gear selector, causing my shift lever on the steering column to flop around as it was no longer attached to anything. This video shows the problem, identifies the repairable part #, and shows the removal and installation. This is common on many Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles.

​@@OffRoadEndeavorI cannot even find this cable to change the bushing. Can you tell me where it is?? 😢

The cable will be underneath the vehicle, on the left side of the transmission.

Not being there, it is hard to diagnose. There is a little bit of adjustment in the part when you put it on. (See 2:37 in the video) It may be possible it isn't shifting completely into park because the part is holding the shift cable out just a bit from being in park. You may need to adjust the part to get a little more pull on the shifter cable. Take the part off, make sure the transmission gear selector is rotated completely into park. Make sure the driver's gear selector is fully in park. Then try reinstalling the part. I hope it is as simple as that for you.
