HELP, SHIFT LEVER ISSUES
This commonly LOOSE SCREW is now totally striped out
If I remove the covers or and or drop the column down will I be able to just put a bolt through it or do I have to replace the whole thing

Patience, CHECK...Luck, Not So Much Today
This is what I found looking for a way to put a bolt through what I thought were striped threads.
It really sucks when striped threads would have been a good thing

I'm not EVEN going to ask what the L stands for
It is 1/2 of the ear at the end of the shift tube. IE: a view from the back side of the pic in the 1st post.

The shift tube is easy to replace and it looks like your 95% there already. I'm doing the same thing on my son's truck. I found his for $40 at Advance Auto. If was a little tough to find in the salvage yard as it seems to be a pretty common Ford problem, but I did come across a few.

I was kind of surprised at how brittle that stupid aluminum is. I even had a clamp break as I was tightening the bolts down. 75% of the Fords we ran across in the scrapyards had the shift tubes already pulled.
