in june last year i bought a 93 f150 4.9l 5spd, (manual shift) 4x4 with 124,000 miles on it now. in winter i could get my truck in 4low maybe 3 times i could put it in but it was really hard to push the lever down. now it wont go in at all. i crawled underneath and seen that the piece that is supose to push down wont budge at all, i can force that pin around the pattern and it will go in 4 low but i dont want to do that. it is 300$ for one at a dealership. the part comes right off the floor shifter handle in is a round circle with a piece that is supse to push down so the pin can go into the 4low spot. i can get some pic on soon to show you wut i am talking about.

Well, if it were my truck, I'd be pulling the lever system apart to clean it up and lube all the various joints....goes with the territory when old trucks are purchased.

BTW: If and when you get the tran working right, drain out the lube and replace it with a good equivalent full synthetic lube....I had a stiff-shifting VW Rabbit 4-speed that responded beautifully to a load of synthetic lube
in the tranny.

well i pulled the part off and it is just so rusted that it wont move. i hit the one end with a rubber mallet and it goes down but then i have to hit it again to get it back to normal. the part new is $300 from dealership. i go to junk yard and get one.


i did replace my fluid in my transmission and i was mad when i looked in the haynes manul it said like 7 qts so i buy reg automatic trans. fluid cause thats wut they recomend now. and i put in and only takes 3 qts. i thought napa and autozoe were correct on capacity. otherwise i would have put in full synthetic. i want diff. full synthetic also. i already have engine that way.

Did you get it fixed? I am having the same problem and I was going to try and grease everything up.
