'95 4x4 auto transmission has been getting progressively harder to get in gear. The selector on the column seems very loose and have to fiddle with it to get the truck in drive. Did a search and found info on a broken shift tube, but this one still goes in gear, just takes a lot of wiggling and cussing the selector. Any ideas on the issue?

Thanks

There is a nut right under the steering column that needs to be tightened, tighten it up and it will work jsut fine dude, my ford had the same problem and that fixed it.

 

Thanks for the info. I will check it out and see if that is the issue

 

9 times out of 10 it is the issue, we get people in work with the same problem and charge them a half hour of labor to tighten a nut because they didnt know it was there.

 

Looked at my worthless haynes manual and they have almost nothing on the steering column. where is this nut located?

Thanks

 

Its located between the Steering Column Assembly and Arm 7346. Heres another photo on where to tighten.

When I get home I will take a picture underneath the dash to show ya and post that.
