Last night I put my truck in park, and the orange mark said it was in Reverse, but it was in park. I tried a few times and could not get the orange mark to move to "P". I tapped the gauge cluster and it popped over. I wrnt back out after dinner, and it worked smoothly, but would not go to "P" this morning when I got to work. I have searched about transmission issues, but cant seem to figure out what may be causing it. It is a column shift, 07. Can the table be tightened or something? Thanks

 

Make sure the cable hasn't come loose

 

It's a common issue, the tiny cable that pulls that orange marker stretches out or gets damaged.... That cable is like a 12 pound fishing line or thicker so they snap and stretch easily

 

So if I crawl under the steering wheel will I be able to see this? I also read something about torx screws that can come loose? Is that more of a transmission issue? Everytime I read about a problem, I assume the worst. Hopefully it is just a loose cable that can be tightened and not transmission problem

 

I highly doubt any type of transmission issue unless your transmission itself is acting up. It is very likely just the cable for the gauge cluster.

 

Your probably right, I am just a worst case scanario/hypochondriac when it comes to the truck. I will peek around behind the cluster and see what I can find. It still shifts into all the gears pretty smoothly so that is good

 

you would need to take out the cluster, and check that wire.

 

Well damn, that sounds like a pain in the ***.

 

I could be wrong, check under the dash see if you see anything

 

Look for this it looks like you might be able to adjust it just take off the plastic around the steering column
