99 F-250 wont go into any gear. Comes out of park while on the brakes but then wont catch any gear, it will almost just fall down to first. Checked the two hex screws to the linkage and they’re fine. Anyone know about this? Thanks in advance

Linkage popped off the tranny would be my guess. Look better!

Have someone shift it while you go crawling!

I feel like it has to be a problem in the column itself, the shifter is just completely loose. Fucking a its just sitting outside dicks on transit right now lol not what I needed

On the bright side, linkage issues are usually an easy fix!

EDIT: You could have someone sit in it and hold the brake and crawl and shift it manually from underneath just to get it home.

Linkage was the culprit, I’m retarded for not checking that first. Thanks guys appreciate the help.
