yeah im pretty sure that the slop would be in the fittings on the end of the cable or movement where the cable mounts, parker when your shifting through the gears does it feel like there is resistance to movement between gears, are they firm clunks when shifting? and its just the good ol floppy lever, like mine i can wobble mine up about and down about an inch and a half no matter what gear.
i kinda thought it was normal....well more like kept telling myself it was normal.

 

Here, took a few Videos... 1st one is in Park, which doesnt bother me too much , not really that loose, but the 2nd is in Drive, and more along the lines of what im talking about, pretty damn loose.

looking at this one if you look at the where the pin goes into number 1 if that pin was worn it would cause it to be loose

 

hmmm,looks like i better tear the column apart when i get some extra time,because that may very well be whats worn..btw how ya gettin these diagrams?

 

... i have way way to much time on my hands and my truck seems to break every 3 weeks so i found alot of good web sites but all these diagram's are coming from comp nine

 

stop with the crack pot ideas. Adjust your shift cable. Theres a bracket where the 2 pieces come together on the driverside just outside of the frame rail (under the body). Try adjusting it before you start ripping off the PRNDL switch and what not.

I had almost the same symptoms with my tranny swap (I also had my VSS and Connector wrong so it wouldnt show D or turn off my reverse lights), adjusted the cable and its fine. My PRNDL switch is still fucked tho so I have cruise issues. Hope this helps

 

the gear light isnt so bad, hardly happens its mainly the slop that pisses me off (watch the videos) youll see what i mean

 

my 03 the shifter is looser then that also inorder to get my truck into trailer mode you have to have it in drive and pull the shifter towards yourself with the button pressed

 

I was referring to my other problems that came with that.

Adjust the cable and you wont have any more problems

 

Crack pot ideas? Now I remember why I stopped coming to this site for a while.
