Explorer shift cable replacement 

Thanks for showing how its done

I hope you can help. My 04 explorer shifts nicely, no clunking etc. Has 160xxx miles. My car either doesn't shift out of park, or go into park. It is completely random. Some days it works just fine. Other times I cant leave the house because it wont go into drive. Then let's say if I get to my destination and go to put into park, it won't. It takes several times (a few minutes) to either get into park or go into drive. We had a $3000 repair 6 months ago because timing chain guide broke. So we don't want to take to mechanic and spend hundreds more. Thanks for your time

Can you please show that how did you install it with just one panel out?

Thank you

Thanks for the tip! Probably saved us some money. Lol

I already removed everything. My problem is I can’t return shifting to natural or reverse , parking unless I get under and do it from gearbox so I can turn it off and remove the key. Know am still trying to figure out what’s wrong , is it the cable or shifting stick ?

Same as a 2003??? With longer cable with colum shift????

Problem with my 05 is when in reverse it’s still on park and when on neutral it’s reverse and when on drive it’s neutral and so on any ideas?

what about a 2008..is it similar?

How do I remove the locking tabs?

Any idea,, I have 2007 ford explore same shifter,,, the shifter moves but it seems like it only goes into park & neutral,,, it starts, & when I think it is in neutral (I can push the vehicle & it does roll) but it will not “actually shift into drive” the shifter moves thru all gears but it’s not shifting into drive.???????? Any help??

How to get the clip off as u say release

Ok so i replaced my shifter cable on my 07 explorer today since it broke yesterday. Now its not lining up properly with the indicator. It goes into park fine but when going into reverse i have to go to the netural spot on the indicator before it ever engages reverse then have to go to d for neutral and 3 for D. Any help would be would be amazing.

lol thanks for nothing! 😂

Dude how in the world are you going to just have the part out already and then tell how you did it without even giving any good details? This video is not helpful at all

You didn't show us nothing man

This guy is a time-waster. I doubt he knows the correct way to do the replacement; he's feeling out the whole process right before our very eyes and still never showed anything of substance; all talk and no action.
