M50D shifter problems
M50D Shifter problems!!
Hello my name is rick and i have a 1995 ford f150 with a m50d. the last owner used a hose clamp to hold the pins in, which i have not removed. After 3 months, the dealership told me i cannot buy a new top plate , supposedly they do not offer parts for the m50d any more. my problem is that first and second slider moves forward and backward but 1st and 2nd won't engage. I have unbolted the top plate but i did not remove it yet. Tranny guy at the dealership said maybe some "pins" slipped out of place due to loosening of the shifter and possibly i can fix it simply by removing the top plate. Any comments? i will fix this myself if its not too difficult!

Hey Rick! 
You will want to use our tech forums to get the help you need. Click on the Forums tab at the upper left and scroll over the boards. There is one for your year of truck and another that addresses trannies. Post either of those and I'm sure you'll get some help.
