Steering Column Repair: shifter not working, ford steering column, tilt steering

Question
I have a '93 F-150 2WD with tilt steering. that i picked up. the shifter was kinda stiff and i have to feel for where the gears are (not too concerned about it) but I went out today and when i shifted it felt like something snapped and now my shifter is loose and wont get out of park. I obviously know its busted and have to fix it but do i have to get a whole new steering column or is there other ways to go around it?

Answer
Hi Dan:

We have recently uploaded pages and a description of how to repair and/or rebuild the shift tube of a Ford steering column.  They are broken down into step by step detailed instructions on our website. Although the example is for a different vehicle than yours, the column is identical to yours (tilt and non tilt use the same housing)

I hope these instructions help you.  If not, please contact me again for more information.
Lastly, if you need parts to repair this column simply follow the links to order on line or email us on our "Contact Us / Order Parts" page and we will get back in touch with you personally

Good luck

Doug
