1993 Aerostar automatic transmission: I backed out of a parking stall, pulled the shift arm into drive and heard something snap. The arm immediatly felt limp and will flop around loosely, however, I can still get N,OD,D,2,&1 although the gear indicator is nowhere correct. I cannot get park or reverse. I have pulled the airbag, steering wheel, much of the dash board and misc pieces of plastic. I just finished reading some 130 postings and think the minimum is torx bolts that have fallen out but suspect that the aluminum shifter casing may be split. (I'll check these tomorrow AM) Question: Does the entire steering colunm have to be pulled to replace this part? Also, any other suggestions as to the possible cause of the problem? Thank you.
