Fix a loose column shifter on ford vehicles. This video will show you how to fix your loose column shifter for an automatic car, specifically a Ford, Mazda, Lincoln, or Mercury. A loose shifter can prevent your car from starting because you cant get into Park or Neutral. It can also leave you stranded by not allowing you to get into Reverse or Drive. I will show you how to identify the problem, tighten the bolts and prevent the problem from occurring again in the future.

    Not an easy fix at all. It's almost impossible to get to this bolts, still figuring out how to get there without removing half of the dash. Idk maybe on other models it's easier but on 04 ranger it's hard af. Anyway thanks for the information

    I wasn't even able to get my van into park. I thought it wasn't starting because something like a starter relay or my solenoid was bad. But nope. Found a gold colored screw on my floor three days ago. Saw this video just now and was like "wait a minute". Took a look. Found a missing screw spot, put it in. And boom. No wonder it wasn't starting. Damn thing was never in park to begin with. Fucking hell the smallest of things create the stupidest of problems.
