GREAT resouce. Went from scratching my head to having my problem fixed with just one video. Thanks!
Multiple shift tube breakage can be caused by a stiff shift cable. Rocks can get in behind the trans shift lever causing a hard to get into park as well. 40+ YRS. Retired Ford Tech.

I am not afraid to do this procedure now. Thanks for a great video, if your back is burning in a couple of days I may be cursing you but I highly doubt that! I will be replacing turn signal switch and fuel tank selector switch at the same time.

Your Realtime video. "😎Priceless"😎
I wanted to ask you. When yours broke, were you able to get the key back so you can pull it out of the ignition? I could not and was wondering if some else may be wrong or was this typical when they break
Apparently the Feller at the NAPA store I like to deal with didn't know how to look up the correct part. I had to go to the dealership to buy the shift tube. I could have saved the customer some money! I may be wrong, my Friend, but I think you have hunting on your mind.
great video! thanks!
Was you still able to feel the truck go into gear? My ford has a sloppy shifter an you can’t feel it go into gear you may fee it go into reverse but that’s it no clicks or anything
The real life "squirrel!" ..can't ignore them geese lol ohh squirrel!
Whats that tiny cable you unhook from the tube? Mine broke and I cant find a replacement part online
Totally watched this in the bathroom...you should do a vid on replacing shifter linkage on a 94 f150 lol.
Well when I have a truck that needs that repair I'll make a video. Thanks for watching
What was that called that had the little black wheel you said you had lost once already? Mines broke. Don't know what to say when I call around/search for the part.
Helpfull funny video thank for shearing.
Perfect. Just what i needed. Lmao Good ending 😂
Question for anyone.... I replaced the shifter tube and cable on a 94 f250 still cant get it to shift properly. Any ideas????????
after you did that did you have a problem with the truck not starting
Hi what if my f350 is slipping like that but it's not broken would it be the same thing as yours? I see the previous owner put electrical tape on one of the rubber boots and one of the braces that hold it in place is broken.
Hard to say without seeing. But if it's really loose but not broken I'd check the 2 bolts on the very back. It's very common they become loose. Also bushing could be worn but you can check the 2 bolts in back pretty easy by looking up under the dash
Thanks I check those bolts but they were fine I have the new part but can't get the pens back in any suggestions? Thanks
Watched your video. Made the swap, bolted it all back up. Didn't notice the spring and fat lever on forward on the end of shaft until examining broken part. Disassembled, swapped in the old spring and lever, reassembled. Now it shifts again, but won't turn over. I dis-connected the battery, but did not pull the ignition switch. Headlights very bright, fan motor strong, makes me wonder if I need to pull the ignition and reinstall it?
Ya that's odd. I'd try pullin it and put it back in. I've never had that happen. Thanks for watching
Cleaned battery posts, replaced cable ends, replaced ignition tumbler with new tumbler, same results. Was told that there is a brake pedal switch on the end of the column near the firewall that may have come disconnected and if disconnected would prevent the ignition from turning over. Pouring rain at the moment will check tomorrow while charging battery.
Paul SkillHorder, to my best knowledge there is a safety switch that will keep the truck from starting if it is in gear (reverse, drive, 2, or 1). This switch keeps the motor from even turning over!!! I've had this problem with a loose shifter and remedied it by shifting it to anything else and putting it back in park and it started like normal. So you've made the swap and your motor will not turn over, I would put money on this being the problem. Maybe the safety switch alignment is off? I know this is an old comment, I hope it helps if you haven't fixed it yet or to others in the future.
Fixed it, all good ty very much!
I have a 93 f150 and I this plus the overdrive feature might be broken. This is my new project. Thanks. Did you post the part numbers you used?
I did not. Napa only had 2 options I believe. cheap and expensive
I bought a 89 f250 truck it needs a steering colum I bought it like that is it hard to put another one in
no it's not bad
Got a question. I did the tube replacement and apparently I pinched or smashed a wire or wires. I have no volt meter the radio doesn't come on and the fuel tank switch is not getting power. Any ideas?
Always check fuses first. If they're good, start tracing the wires back to see if you can find a bad connection.
Your doggo is so damn precious
She sure was
I have a 1970 ford f 250 shifter broke the u tube showed no real detail on it the linkage to transmission y and below shaft inside at bottom of shaft are ok but I can't get the pin out of shifter itself. Please comment on this please
All I can think is get a small pin and hit the bigger pin with a hammer to push it out
I would like to know if the whole steering column assembly is the same between a 1995 f250 and a 1997 f250 both are two wheel drive and have tilt steering
They are the same
+THUNDERstroke73 thank you made my night. Boom.💣
Your welcome. Thanks for watching
If my 97 Lariat shifter is really loose but still works, just hard to tell what gear you put it in, and have to wiggle it a little as you go thru thru gears, is it do to this shift tube, or am i having some other problem?
I enjoyed the video, and any help here diagnosing this thing will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Start by laying under your dash and tighten the 2 back bolts at the end of the shifter. It's very common for them to wiggle loose. They're the bolts that point towards the driver seat
THUNDERstroke73 I forgot to tell you thanks! I did and they were terribly loose. I tightened them and it is a lot better,
but i think i may have waited too long because it is still not just right.
With that said, do you think i will have to replace something now? And what part should i check next?
Thanks a bunch!
I don't want to lead you in the wrong direction but if it was my truck I'd start by taking the column apart like I did in the video to see if anything looks wrong. I'm sure with a bad or missing bushing that it would have some slop in it. But once you have the column cover off, play with the shifter and see if you can spot where it gets loose. Wish I could be more help, just harder to figure out over the Internet.
Thanks for watching!!!
THUNDERstroke73 THANKS FOR THE REPLY!
That's exactly what i am going to have to do. Take a look in there.
Thanks again for the great video too!
What happens is the formed steel plate that the two bolts go thru gets wallowed out holes and alignment is off by the missing metal there. Ours got bent so was never right with the world, you had to do a reach around steering wheel with the left hand and wrench the gear shift into park in order to turn the key off fully to where one could pull it out. So now it all just broke again, thanks for the video - it helps. Overdrive switch and light failed some weeks ago so need that too, new shaft and new formed steel end piece that couples to the transmission cable too.
You never showed the removal or the replacing the of shifter cable , which I think is the hardest part .
I swore mid video you were going to get the blaster..
Haha hard to stay focused sometimes
Its Ford Heaven
Anyone else busy out laughing cause they were actually on the crapper 🚽 when he said that 😂
Hahahahaha!!!!
Great video. It was very helpful but I have a little problem. When I put the lock cylinder back in and turn it back to release the key, it won't go back all the way and the key is stuck in the ignition. Would you by chance know why?? Thanks again.
I don't know for sure. I've never had that happen. if nothing else buy a new one. They don't cost much
THUNDERstroke73 I did buy a new one and it's doing the same thing.
That's odd. I'm assuming the gearshift is in park?
THUNDERstroke73 it is. Idk what it could be.
Ya I can't think of anything without seeing it visually or messing with it. But let me know when you find the answer. I'm curious
truck broke in park and manually put into drive so I can get it home will this be a problem when replacing shift tube?
Just be sure to get the truck in park and then everything else should bolt up correctly
THUNDERstroke73 okay cool thanks
what is the technical name for that part trying to buy having trouble finding it ...
Shift tube
Hold on...15:45 , you mention removing a pin ? Where is the vid for THAT ?
hey buddy thanks for the video i broke mine recently and found your video and repaired mine. that part now works and all but now when i start mine i shift into any gear and the rpm does not change and now the tranny will not shift gears, did i pop a fuse or sensor of some kind while doing this repair?
I'm not 100% sure. Make sure your linkage is tight and secure to the transmission under the floor. Doing this repair shouldn't cause any other issues.
@@THUNDERstroke73 ok problem found and problem solved when i lowered the steering column i guess some of the wires were wrapped around something so i pulled two plugs apart when i lowered the steering column and it happened to be the tranny plug.
Also my truck will go in gear and then start once I get it in that gear it acts up and cuts off could this be because it's not all the way in the correct gear? Thanks
Ya that sounds like a possibility to me
Thanks
Thanks man! Just broke in front of my house and got stuck in 1st. What a pain in the ass HAHA
Glad to help!!
I just put the new one in and it's still not doing it
Not doing what? Still not shifting gears?
Nope.it is stuck in 1st.
Possibly a linkage problem? Lay under the truck and start by manually putting it in park. You can see on the drivers side of the tranny where the linkage meets the tranny. That lever it connects to goes forward and back. If I remember, strait back is park. Strait forward all the way is 1st. So get it in park and then check that your shift tube is in the correct place and tightened up. If that don't work, then I'd guess linkage issue or tranny problem. Pretty hard to diagnosis over the Internet. Good luck
Nice powerstroke do you have a parts list by chance
Check my other videos of that truck. The list of parts is in the descriptions
You're lucky to have both clamps for your tube. I broke my tube & the bottom aluminum clamp. I'm gonna see if our 2003 Windstar got the same clamps, otherwise I'm gonna see if I can use a drive shaft universal clamps. You're also lucky you don't have an E350...van's got a lot more to remove. Not cutting you down...just saying the truck is so much easier. I'm gonna sub you. Aloha Chief #988
Damn that sucks
@@THUNDERstroke73 I know it sucks...the replacement would have been like $35.00. I ended up making 2 new clamps from the universal clamp from my Dad's old M1008 rear axle. I added flat washers for spacers so I won't crush the bushing & the newq tube. Your vid prompted me to make 1 for E350 Econoline owners. My Mom bought me a 1997 E350 Club Wagon with a 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel in her. Living on an island in the middle of Pacific you gotta order it & wait for shipping which is like $40 more...Fucking Jones Act!!!! I followed you vid to the T...now "Bessie" is back on the road.

@@KohalaIronWorksCase awesome work man. And you're welcome
That dog is being all statue like ;)
Sad to report she died year last year of bone cancer. She always would stand there like that and watch me work. A true best friend
Why won’t my key come out after doing this?
Nice vid. thanks.
safety first, wear your goggles. LoL.
Nice goggles man
Thanks dude
13:52 Hi doggie! 🐶
that black ford is bad ass love it wanna sell it ?
I have always thought this gear shifter was a low point for Ford. I find them super cheap-feeling and quite a few at work have fallen off in the past. Maybe the falling off is just a loose screw. At work th ough, many of the high mileage older ford's have loose shifters and it is hard to tell what gear they are in. Ford's newer style shifters are ace.
Common for f250 s to have a parasitic draw on the battery
after decades,,, Ford has not yet addressed this serious issue or tried to correct it's defective design. this is why the US is laughed at,, also why most people drive Toyota
Cute lab
Thank you
@@THUNDERstroke73 Yes Sir!!
You skipped the part where you remove & replace the shifter CABLE . Getting that cable (mine needed replacing) to seat in the bracket with absolutely zero room under the dash because it's right next to the wiring bundle is a b#*ch !
Must...shoot....geese....
So hard not to haha
