Steering Column Repair: steering column, ford steering column, f 350

Question
I have a 1997 F 350 ford and the gear shifter doesn't shift to all gears. The shifter has alot of movement from park to drive and does not go to park. I have to start it in neutral and then I can shift it to drive. To shift it to reverse I have to get under the truck and move the linkage to reverse. Thanks for your help.

Hi Steve:

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)
