2000 F250 - sloppy shifter after plastic bushing replacement
Folks, this has been driving me nuts for a bit.
My column shifter is.. .extremely vague. I replaced the plastic bushings, tightened the screws per Makuloko's YT channel (and while the old bushings were a bit worn, the screws were fine).
Is there anything else to replace? The bushings helped but selecting the proper gear is still an exercise in patience.

Aha, I see - I think the spring 6L5Z-7379-A and the rear metal piece with the positions - 3C3Z-7A216-BA - would possibly also help in my case so I bought those as well.
Now to figure out if all this can come out of there and go back in from the top - I think so?
Edit: @BWST I just saw your post, I think that plus a worn spring + back 'position' bracket (which is the piece that has the detents and could very easily be rounded off) are also a part of my problem as well as the egged out pin hole - the spring is certainly less strong than it should be. I will order, install and report back while my truck is lacking half the front suspension anyways.
Thank you both!
