Thanks for the info edward, yeah thats what it seems like cause you know when you move it from reverse to newtral to foreward you feel it hit these little indents well its not doing that and you can move the lever around in a circle now. thanks again man have a great weekend.
the truck should (must, by law, or it is not considered safe to operate) have a capacity data plate, that will have the model and serial number on it.
some of these have a shift lever that is clamped to a shaft, the shaft runs into the transmission, your shift lever may have just come un-clamped.
