My 2002 F150 shift indicator just broke and I was so happy that you had a video that covered this issue. Unfortunately my cable bracket was broken in three places and the epoxy wouldn't work. I was lucky as one of my local auto parts stores actually had one in stock. Everything went just like the video and I was able to have everything repaired for under $15 and an hour of my time. Many thanks, Chris!

Thanks for the help. I couldn't get my seat to go back (electric, another problem, later) so I did it without moving seat, makes it much harder, sore back. My problem is that once I exposed the broken piece, I rolled the adjuster and it wouldn't move the indicator. I had to pull the wire to get the initial look to get to the "P". Maybe I'm missing something. I'm in Arizona, and like to get to certain stages on these fixes--yours are hands down, the most precise and easy to follow I've seen, an again thanks for that. It's real hot here now--117 degree stretch of three days coming, and I am a retired, full-time RV guy. My fix is being applied to a 2010 Ford Explorer Sport--SUV, not the pickup. If I literally pull the wire that loops onto the catch, I can get it to move easily to the "P" position on the indicator. But, using the cog adjuster as far as I can spin it to the left, I get no movement in the indicator. Do I need to maybe adjust the position of the "stopper" that is installed just to the left of the broken piece? While holding it, when trying to use the cog--it was far to the right when I first looked at it after removing the metal plate--I just have too much "play" in the wire I guess is the best I can say it. Anybody got any idea of the moving the stopper "sleeve" near the piece that is still attached after I've gotten to that point? I don't want to start messing with the wire itself. It seems like it needs to be "shortened" somehow to allow the adjustment cog to work. Thanks in advance for any help. I only have a daily window this time of year to work. I still need to tackle the extra fix you suggest. I'm getting a slight "kerplunk" when shifting between certain gears, like a loose "u" joint, but it's not consistent, and sometimes doesn't even happen so I think it's probably the other fix you recommend. You've been a great help, and, as said, your vids are lucid and do-able. I'm 69, but feel comfortable working with your help. Hal Hill, Quartzsite, AZ

UPDATE: Fixed it!!! Thank you Thank you @ChrisFix!!! Now my shifter feels new and my truck feels like it can run another 100k. Here's what happened. I couldn't find 1/2 of the supplies at Pep Boys so I decided to disassemble the dash to take a peak and see if I need to order the plastic part from Amazon. It took about 2-1/2 hours because I had to squeeze in upside down like in some weird sex position to see underneath the dash. I also used a handheld mirror placed on the floor mat so I wouldn't have to disassemble the screws while upside down. As it turned out, the plastic was in tact and all I had to do was adjust the little wheel. Then the gear stick was still a little loose so I located the gear screw like you show in the video. Since I didn't have any blue adhesive, I just tighten the gear screw which was loose. Wow...right away I could feel the shifter stop being loose. (I'll go back after I find the blue adhesive) Meanwhile I'm all upside down and cursing because it was really tight. I know when I asked my mechanic about this months ago, they didn't want to deal with it because they figured this was going to be a costly diagnostic problem so I have to ask you: 1. How did you know that plastic and wheel was the problem and the screw at the gear shift was loose? I would have logically assumed something was going on with the stick and disassembled the dash. 2. How did you film all of this? I could not even get my hands or head under and in between all those wires to get to the screws. Anyways, you are a !#$%^ inspiration. I'm going to show my mechanic your "Cranks but won't start" video and see if I can do that myself since they tried some diagnostic and coil replacement stuff and the truck still shakes like crazy at 2000 rpm. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Can you list (or link & size) all the equipment and supplies necessary, as I don't have any of them, and will need to buy them at the local Pep Boys? Epoxy, blue adhesive, threaded torque wrench, zip ties. I wonder why auto designers use a plastic part instead of metal? They must be idiots if the newer model trucks use the same design. I have a 1999 Mazda truck which has the same exact problems as ChrisFix... down to the dead instrument lights. It's like finding a long lost brother with the same cancer LOL. The other day, my truck just died in the parking lot. It took me a hour of slamming the gear shift back and forth until some mysterious reason, it started back up again.

At the very least, I learned how to easily remove the bottom of the dash, locate the part and if I need to I'll get a new one if this doesn't hold. A+ sir! A tip of the cap to you.

You have taught a lot of people (including me) a lot of important information. If you want to see my truck I can make a video of it for you cause I think you'll really like it but it's in storage so it can't be for a couple months yet, by the way I love your corvette.

Oh, and didn't have to pull any panels, but was a little tight working. The bracket and adjustment knob are a lot smaller than I expected. It's located a little right (passenger side) of the bottom of the steering column. Truck is a '98 F150.

Good video there ChrisFix, it's quick, concise and no unnecessary blah blah. I watched the whole thing and don't even own any of those cars, you mentioned. Never the less, it is good information that I'll catalog in my brain for that future "just in case" use. One thing I've learned about gluing is, to make a glue joint stronger embed a medium into the glue. I have found the best stuff to use is old used dryer sheets. You know the fibrous kind not the foam kind. They have to be used so there is no chemicals left that might react to the glue. Plus they are easy to cut into odd shapes. I fixed both interior car handles on my moms 2013 Chevy Aveo. They are notorious for breaking in half. Bad bad Chevy design. I can't do anything about the plastic chrome that came off of them but they won't break again.

Excellent tutorial. This is such a common problem on these Ford’s, it’s ridiculous. There’s now a metal aftermarket replacement, I highly recommend it. It’s not worth buying another cheap plastic one just for this to happen again.

Geat video quality and advice about the two shifter screws. Don't know exactly why, but when I unhooked the loop and let go of it it went up into the black cable covering - I had to get another indicator! I suggest using a small zip it through the loop when you unhook it for assurance. Again; Thank you for the video and instructions.

Hey young man "AWESOME" video you did a great job... Although I'm experienced with auto repair, your video is very well done to show those who aren't as mechanically educated. My son and I just yesterday ( Jan 17/23 ) replaced the shift rod that actually snapped right in half and even though we got it all fixed, the gear indicator wasn't working so I wasn't able to stay and try and fix it. I wish I had of seen this video yesterday cause we would have had this done for sure.
