This may help:

 

I know this is an old topic, but, I need help.
Got the new shifter, removed the old one without any issues, but, I cannot get the new shifter bottom to work. I know the pin must be misaligned. Also, the spring some how is all tweaked now.
Where can I find a replacement?
I am trying to straighten it out, but, I do not believe it is going to be straight.

Help. Got to drive to work tomorrow.

 

you still have it plugged in and key on?

 

They key was in and it the neutral position. I am not sure what you mean by plugged in.
Can you clarify?

 

ok, got all this done and in the process i lost the spring.

can anyone tell me where i can find a suitable spring for the shifter?

thank you in advance.

 

another option is a mark LT shifter, its a direct replacement and looks alot nicer. the directions sam1947 posted are the same ones i used but i believe the 05 and 04 trucks are a little different

 

You wouldn't happen to know where to order a replacement for the small spring in the shifter would you?
