Pop them off and do what with them?I thought the cables might have already been popped off thats why my shifter doesn't select any gears.Idk though you guys are more of any expert than me.

You where supposed to check BOTH ends the cables to make sure they where connected to their respective "nubs/nipples". As for the car getting stuck in gear and being sloppy, my car did just that ... I fully stand by my assertion that it's a sheared tower bolt!

Yea, what he said. Check where I said to in my last post, drivers side wheel, look in there and you'll see em. Also check by your shifter (in car) under the center console. If they are all attatched then your tower bolt snapped.

"fastcougar" If it was the shifter bolt wouldn't it have traveled through my tranny and reached my diff. and borken that apart?Because I was about a mile or two away from my house when this happened and I limpedit home and the tranny def. had time to "circulate" the bolt.Just a thought.tell me what you think?

there is a magnet somewhere on the bottom of the tranny. my bolt was stuck to that. went right past all the gears and sat right down there. make sure you get everything out. im assuming your talking about the selector shaft, they used a lock washer but no locktite. make sure to use a new lock washer and some locktite when u put that thing back together.

More rubbish info! There is no lockwasher on the
vertical shaft bolt.Use the correct Ford part which
CAN be had at the dealer...It is a 'tri-lobe' self
locking design.Get your facts straight before leading
others astray with incorrect information on the MTX75!
