this is the piece that sheared off, any ideas?


this is the piece it was connected to
I drive a 2011 F150 FX4 with 130,000 miles. I got off work this morning, got to the gas station and noticed when I went from Drive to Park that it was a bit rough, like some debris had fallen into the whole mechanism. Well when I got home, I ran the shifter through all of the gears and it got rough when I went to 1, 2, and M. After attempting to bring it back to park it would go into park, transmission shifted fine, but in my dash the "P" never illuminated red like the other gears. Thus not allowing me to remove my key, after further inspection I found that I had broken what is a spring and lever, I will have pictures attached. I am curious to if I can replace this part or am I stuck buying a whole new shifter.

 

The part is not sold separately, you have to get the whole shift assembly.

 

Like Falcon said, that exact part arm broke off on my shifter also. This is so common that my dealership stocks them all of the time. I have a King Ranch, so I needed the red one, they had it in stock, easy to replace the whole shifter.
With that arm broken, the vehicle doesn't know that its in Park, so the dash lights don't go off and the steering doesn't lock.

I had the same problem.
Not having money for a new shifter, but did have some JB Plastic Weld on hand, I secured it back together with two heavy coats and then let it set for 24 hours before reinstalling. It's been two weeks now. So far so good.
Dont know how temporary a solution this will be, but hopefully long enough until I can purchase another whole shifter assembly, since it seems you have to buy the whole chicken to get the egg.
