Gear Shifter Issues
Having an issue with the gear shifter popping in and out of gear, as well as popping out of 'P' into 'R'. I did a quick search, but didn't see a similar issue. So, I'm looking for a place to start.

Start by laying on the floor under the dash. Look up the steering column. There are two Torx head bolts that tend to loosen or fall out. When they do that the shifter gets very sloppy and can pop out of gear.

Yep! That's what it was. One had backed all the way out and the other was sloppy loose. Thanks for the help.
