i have an automatic 2000 f150 and the shifter is really loose. it shifts into the gears fine but if you wiggle it the red line will wiggle alot like its got alot of play in it. its not a problem but when people drive my truck there like is it supposed to be that loose and i really dont know is it??? anyone else have this issue?? thanks...

 

its not really a big problem but i just took my truck to the shopd for some things and they fixed mine while they were working on my cause my shifter had a lot of play, the mechanic said there are a few bolts that hold it to the steering column and they were so loose that it was about to fall off anf he tighten evrythingf up and it is very tight like new now. u could prob take ur dash apart and fix it urself or take it somewhere but id def get it fixed before it falls off lo. i have also heard that there is an aluminum collar on the shifter tht sometimes wallows out but i think that is on f250 idk anyway not a big thing but get it fixed sometime

 

well im gunna put some LEDs behind my gauge cluster sometime so when i have it apart i will see if anything is loose thanks for the help!

 

could be a loose gear shift rail. I saw a youtube video replacing the shaft. Looked real easy.
