Can anybody tell me what the chrome color plastic cap on the gear shifter (2004 F150 Supercrew) is called, or do you know where I can get a replacement or part number? piece broke and cant get it to stay.

 

broken shifter cap too? this seems to be a ford trait now, join the club

 

I just 2 part epoxyed mine back down a few weeks back when I broke it putting my truck in park lol. been holding up real good.

 

from what i've heard you have to buy the whole shifter assembly just to get the little piece. i would use some sort of epoxy to stick it back on, JB weld does wonders.

 

I been looking for the chrome trim around the shifter of an 08 limited. I had no luck wat so ever. It's got minor scratches on it and hate looking at it

 

nice i'm not alone stupid shifter cap

 

Just bought a used 05 a couple months ago and the shifter **** was broke when I test drove it so I made the dealership get a new one. All he replaced was the cap so I'm pretty sure you can get the cap only.

 

the dealership could have just popped the cap out of the new assembly then pop it into yours

 

whole assembly sry bro .... get a can of black gasket maker .... put a good dab of it in the inside of the cap where its going to sit on that square peg... leave it over night dont touch it !!!! and in the morn it should be perfect

 

I have super glued mine twice. It lasted a few months each time then came off. Ford can't seem to get even the simple stuff right anymore.

EDIT: Just bought a new assembly on Ebay for $55.74 USD, shipping included.

 

Well so I'm not he only one with this problem. I tried to get just the cap from a dealer and they said I had to buy the assembly, they wanted $88! The cap is still in the console, I'm going to epoxy it back on.

 

Sure would be nice to have a quality replacement. Real nice for Ford to use plastic for something that is handled every time the truck is driven. Hey Ford, charge another $200 for the truck and put a quality shifter in the damn truck!

 

Happened to me bought mine used and someone did glue it down dealership said it was one peice to the shifter had to order it they replaced it free due to the timing from when I bought it.

I PAID $48 FOR MINE TODAY.. They can bargain on price

 

What are y'all doing that causes it to break? 5 years and mine's still stuck on good, knock on wood.
