The shift lever on the column got really sloppy within the last week, it's hard to find reverse without putting it into neutral or park. Could this just be an adjustment or maybe a wore out bushing?

Thanks!

 

shift tube in the steering collum is bad. boss just had one replaced......not cheep don't know how much

 

You can try this first ,,,,Pic ...

That's awsome info I have the same problem, can this bracket be reached from under the dash or does the column have to come apart part way

thanks

 

Just look up under the column.....

 

Thanks I will do that

 

Fixed!!! Thank you Action4478!
Read your response, went out and took a peaky and sure as heck... thats what it was. It took longer to find my torx bits then it did to fix it.

WALJON, just lay on the floor and look up in there, it's as plain as day (at least with the flashlight) Just us a T-30 Torx bit

 

I want to go out now but its too cooold -23c tonight without the wind BRRRR

 

Very Nice Rick!! Learned something useful today! tried to rep but you know the drill.

 

Glad to hear....

 

Its the thought that counts

 

Holy crap my shifter has been driving me nuts since I got the truck 2 years ago never could find the problem I even replaced the shifter lever(mainly cause the OD broke off...its 30 deg out and I just ran out with a flashlight to look and ill be darn those bolts are backed out close to 3/4 of an inch...I will be fixing that tomorrow for sure...great find reps sent.

Rick, thanks again for the info. I'll figure out the rep point thing for shortly!!!
