My shifter in my 04 lariat moves freely and won't engage all the time. Going from park down the tree seams to work but going up from second to park won't engage without playing with it a lot. The linkage appears fine and is connected at the tranny

I can find a lot of people having this issue with the shifter not coming out of park. Mine will come out of park, it just won't grab any of the gears from the bottom of the tree up. For example it won't click on and engage from second to drive or drive to reverse but if I start in park and go down the tree from park to drive or park to reverse it will. Any ideas, I can't afford to pay ford to fix this. I can't figure out what is broken or loose. Any ideas please help!

Have somebody shift through gears while you're underneath and visually check the linkage. Set the pk brake first for safety

I did that already it seams fine. I didn't see anywhere to adjust it anyway, am I missing something. I was thinking since the linkage is connected and moving the cable must be good, right? So I was thinking it must be something inside the gear shift assembly itself, but I looked at it and there's not much to it and it seems ok

I had a conversation with a guy a few weeks back who had the same problem with his floor shifter. He said it had something to do with the detents at the shifter and he was able to tighten it up.

Awesome thank you! Now if I can just figure out where those are. Does anyone know where the detents are located and how to tighten them. Are they in the shifter handle or inside the assembly?
