Thank you once again MY MAN! You were spot on with yet another of your Ford RX's! I remember coming across this vid awhile back when I was using one of your tutorials to fix something else on my '01 Expedition (380,000+ miles to date!) and I used it today for this fix. Thanx once again and a HUGE salute to you from balmy Las Vegas, Nevada! A quick side note: check out that mileage to date I've tallied up on this beast with your help. That is the equivalent of driving to the moon and back with a few miles to spare! Mr. Carl Sagan (rest in peace) would be proud! Have a good one my friend.....

Just looked at mine for my old 98 F150 as the indicator is off and sloppy shifter. Sure enough it’s broken. Just ordered new shifter bushings and this part along with new dash lights bc I have some burned out bulbs. I don’t drive the truck much but I’ve been doing lots of work to it often except when I need a truck. Your vids have helped me swap coils, fix the AC, fix the main vacuum leak and tons of other small diy issues. I have to replace the GEM next and I wish you had a video for that.

Thank You for this video so much! My 2003 Ford Windstar minivan ✔️ engine light came on so I went to AutoZone to see what the problem was and it was the N.S.S.S. so on the ride back home I was thinking 🤔 maybe I need to adjust the actual sensor itself, you know go under the hood but now that I watched this video not only did I learn something new, but now I don't have to go under the hood and start messing with things. Thanks a Bunch 👍.

Thanks for the video. Easiest way was just to lay on my back and change the part to the metal one found on amazon. Used a 7/32 with an extension. To reloop the cable put the vehicle in 1st gear and make sure you put blocks on your wheels.

I don't remember if you've ever gone over it, but the shift tube bushings or torx screws for the tube clamps back out and will give you the sloppy indicator too.

My '86 Grand Marquis has a plastic collar - you just turn the collar by hand until the locating pin drops in ... or there was a pinch bolt. Been a while since I've had to do that (back when my shift lever spring broke into 9 small pieces), so memory is a little foggy. Was pretty simple - no cable or adjuster. It's also still working after 34 years, 265k miles. :)

Hey Man! I know my question will be off topic but I’ve been struggling and going back and forth within Ford dealers techs and other techS, I have a 2001 Ford Escape 2.0 manual, no spark but coil pack plug has power, and the fuel pump doesn’t activate, no one seems to no what the problem is. The theft light blinks but medium intervals between each blink. I would greatly appreciate it if you have any feedback on my ford. I’m ubering for the time being.

My shift indicator developed a similar problem. The indicator moves but it is out of sync. At the same time the car won't start anymore. It cranks over but won't start. I'm wondering if there is any chance that there is an ignition interlock that is triggered by the shift indicator. Probably not and probably I need a new fuel pump which will be expensive work but I just thought I would ask in case the problem is simpler than that. It is interesting that the shift indicator problem and the engine not starting occurred at the same time.

I'm having the same problem, I have a 2001 ford expedition eddie bauer and shifter won't line up. Not only that but everytime I start vehicle I need to pull up on shifter and turn key at same time for truck to start up. My questiion is what if the white plastics are broken b/c of years of wear and tear and heat etc. Thanks for the video, any feedback appreciated.

So I recently brought a set of 38 inch tires and I have a 2009 F150 six speed transmission four-wheel-drive and I have no clue and trying to get as much advice as I can. If I should get 4.88 or 5.13 I don’t do any off-road at all but I definitely want to have nice low and torque I mostly only do city driving. If I go on the highway, it’s only an hour away to go to the beach. Opinions please
