All right bro, here ya go. Instructions straight from my Haynes manual..

Removal
1. Set the Parking brake, then place the shift lever in N
2. Remove Center console side panes and top console shift cover
3. Separate the shift cable end from the shift lever usina a screwdriver
4. disconnect the shift cable from the shift assemble mounting bracket.
5. Disconnect the shift lock solenoid electrical connector.
6. Remove the 4 bolts and remove the shift lever assembly from the floor.

Installation
7. Installation is the reverse ot the removal procedure

That is as detailed as this book gets.

 

I bet you didnt set the parking brake or put it in neutral yet have you?

 

thankz, but im talking about the spring inside the shifter,
this one, do i just set it there, and then slide down the shifter??

 

comon people i cant drive my truck without a shifter...

 

No idea! You can always take the lid off and use the shift-interlock override to take care of it - so it's driveable, just ugly.

 

wow...I FREAKIN BENT THE SPRING PRITTY BAD.

 

I havent been in a FX4 lately. Does the shifter have a button on the top or a lever in front???

 

lever in front

 

dosent anyone know how to put it back?

 

Walk to the nearest auto parts store and buy a repair manual. Never attempt a task unprepared.

 

ive had one for the past 3years, nothing comes out..

 

Lever in the front huh??? Well I dont think the spring would go on the top as you have it picture. Hmmmm, why did you take it apart in the first place???? I hope you learned your lesson, pay more attention next time! Hope someone can help you out, its probly going to be something stupid as hell that you will kick yourself in the *** for not seeing on your own.

 

thats exactly wat im thinking, the spring was already there when i took it off, the reason why i took it off was cuz im painting it black since it was all faded. but i mean someone has to know...
