Is the shifting cable stretched?
Well, it took 10 days for my guys to change out the defective heater core on a 1999 F 150 (with only 14 leftover screws). The heat is working fine, but......they can't get it to shift into reverse (automatic transmission). Looking back, our driveway mechanic thinks he might have stretched the shifting cable when he lowered the steering column. Do you think this is the problem?
Or something else? Many thanks for the heater core instructions, I only wish that I had got them sooner so that it wouldn't have taken so long.

Is the lever really loose and sloppy and will it shift into any other gears? It could be all the linkage was loose and doing all the dash work just got it even further out of whack. When mine did this it wouldn't shift into P or 1 and was very sloppy.
