E4OD question

Just installed add-a-leafs on the front of my 91 F250. The transmission was hard to get out of park following the leaf addition. Now the transmission is actually stuck in first gear. I have removed the linkage and still cannot move the shifter lever on the tranny. Any ideas??

So you lifted the front end right? Did you compensate for tie rod angle changes? If it's 4wd, try putting the transfer case in Neutral or dropping the front driveline. That's all I can imagine that would be affected...

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 12-Feb-01 AT 08:16 PM (EST)[/font][p]Jeff, When you were working under the truck, did you pinch the linkage or crease the cable in any way? If things were tight while you were working, it could be possible that you may have bumped something. Strange. Did you have to force the shifter when you went from park to drive?
