So, I just finished up swapping out the transmission in my '97 F150. But, when I went to reattach the shifter cable, with the shifter lever is in park, the cable was in the 1st gear position. If I move the shifter lever into the 1st gear position the shifter cable moves to the park position. Any have any Idea what I've walked into?
Unfortunately I didn't remove the old Transmission by myself. I asked a friend of my brother if he wanted to give me a hand. By the time I was under the truck with him he had a mag-pan full of hardware. I'll be doing anything going forward by myself.

 

The link on the end of the shifter cable was probably installed to the transmission shifter shaft upside down.

 

This might help you.
