    I had this gear shifter problem until I did a google search and came here! I see 2 bolts under there, but only one has a head?? May have broke off, but I tightened up the other one, and the gear shifter works like new again! Thanks you for the fix. Probally saved me at least $50.
    I guess I'll just keep my eye on it, and make sure it does not back out again. It that bolt long enough to get a lock washer under it? Thread locker? Is that a broke head in the pic?? or is it supposed to be that way?

    425,000 KM F150 Ex cab 4x4 4.6L and still going strong.
