- The shifter cable in this 2005 Ford F-150 Lariat failed. When this happened, moving the gear shifter did not change the gear the vehicle was in. The vehicle transmission was stuck in the gear at the time the cable broke. This video identifies the steps necessary to replace the shifter cable to address the issue. This video covers how to remove the bad cable and install a new OEM replacement shifter cable.

I have the same problem one year ago. My mechanic helps me fixing the small conexion to the shifter. But yesterday i started again having some troubles with the start ignition (that means in a high probability, the cable isnt going on parking). So im thinking to fix again or changing the cable. Thanks to you and your knowledge i can do the procedure. New sub here my friend !!!!
Thank you!
Wow! I have the same issue with my 2007 Ford F-150 Lariat this morning. Did not know what was going on. This video helps me understanding the problem. I feel much better now. Thank you for sharing this video.
You're welcome!
Thanks for the detailed instructions!! Mine just went out this afternoon and feel better about my repair. Much appreciated I liked and subscribed.
You're welcome! Thank you.
Mine went out yesterday (2005 F150)~ it's at the mechanic shop right now after being towed over there. Could be those 'yellow' bushings or change the entire cable like the OP is doing here - hope it ain't that... we'll see ~ thanks for the vid, big help in narrowing the problem down !
You're welcome!
I have this problem now I have a 2006 lincoln mark LT I thought it was the transmission wow thanks!!!
That was also my first thought when I had this issue. So glad it wasn't!
Having the same issue with my 2007 F150. Great video. Thanks for sharing. Was very helpful.
Glad it helped, Rick! Thanks for leaving a comment.
Good Job ! Appreciate the effort and time to share.
Thank you! Happy to do it.
Just wanted to say this video helped me tremendously! Had to replace the whole shifter console and the detaching of the cable from the console was very helpful. Thank again. J

You're welcome!
Thanks a lot
You're welcome!
You can buy just the bushings as well if your cable is in good shape.
Great tip! Thanks, Nicholas.
To find drive did you turn the truck off in neutral when making the adjustments?
I turned the truck off with the shifter in the drive position, then moved the arm on the transmission.
Where did you buy the replacement part?
I purchased it on Ebay.
I put the new cable in, and the shifter isn’t quite lined up when I put it into reverse and drive, what do I need to adjust to fix this
I experienced a similar issue. Did you try what I showed in the video: release the adjustment mechanism where the cable fixes to the pivoting arm, manually move the arm to "find" the gear, then lock the adjustment in place?
@@BlackHoleDIYyup trying that right now, the main issue is the truck is starting while in the reverse gear
@@BlackHoleDIY just adjusted it it works now thanks for the tip
Great! Glad to hear. Good work!
What was the length of the cable?
Hi Misty. Unfortunately, I did not measure the cable's length before installing.
Does this work for 2004 ford f150?
The process is likely similar but I'm sure it would require a different cable.
Are you under the vehicle or under the hood?
I am working from under the vehicle.
Why can’t you just replace the bushing that holds the cable to the shifter lug?
Hi Mark. I suppose you could. Another viewer had a similar comment. I wasn't considering that at the time and just went ahead and replaced the whole cable. But this is helpful for others who may elect to just replace the bushing. Thank you!
@@BlackHoleDIY my ‘04 F150 has failed me many times, this time it is the shifter cable. If replacing the bushing isn’t an option for me, your video will be a great guide for the full cable replacement.
is this for the code P0731
No, I don't think this issue would result in P0731.
