Well heres what I found out today...

I pulled apart my center console, and I always thought I had the rod shifter style linkage because thats all I could ever see when I pulled the boot up on the shifter. Today I noticed there is 2 cables and what appears to be adjusters connected to rods coming off the shifter assembly and a bunch of broken orange ring pieces lying all around.
Apparently these rings are the locking rings for the shifter adjustment and since mine are no longer there that might explain my shifting issues.

My question is this, does anyone know if you can just get these locking rings separately, and is there a part#? Ford could not seem to find any info on this, and on the shift linkage kit it does not even mention them.

My other question is, does anyone know how to adjust this once they are in, I have read the Ford one but its so vague I dare not attempt it.

Any help would be appreaciated.
