The shift **** with overdrive button has broken on my 2000 F150. The break is apparently where the **** assembly screws on or otherwise attaches to the shift lever. Has anyone had this happen and what are the details of the fix? The **** is dangling by the four wires. Looks like I need the whole outer shell/button assembly, minus the electricals. Your help/advice much appreciated.

 

Sorry, I have no idea how to fix this, but thought replying would bring this thread back to the top of the list where it can be seen again.

 

Glue or less than $5 US at the dealer:

I had the same problem on my wife's Mercury Villager. Same design as the one on the F150. I just glued it back on with rubber cement.

 

An update from BikeHauler--

Took truck to Ford dealer for the windshield wiper moter cover recall, and service advisor said that automatic trans lever **** breakage was covered by warranty. They fixed it at no charge, since mileage was well within warranty limit. The entire shift lever including **** was replaced--not just the broken ****. Whether the dealer received more dough from Ford for this type of repair or if replacing **** only was infeasible due to the wires, I'll never know but do know they gigged Ford pretty good for the repair. Lesson learned: exercise your warranty rights at every opportunity. Certainly was better and stronger than gluing.
