Ford ranger gear shifter problem?
I recently shifter into park in my 2000 Ford ranger 3.0 v6 and I heard something break so now the shifter will shift gears without stepping on the brake. Everything still works fine but I can just pull down on the shifter and it will shift instead of stepping on the brake and then shifting. Can't seem to find anything about this so any help on what is wrong is appreciated
Apparently what broke is the solenoid that locks and unlocks the shifter. If you can still shift, you could leave it like that.
The shift interlock solenoid is on the steering column, you have to drop the column down to get at it.
- Why was the gear shifter hard to move but now very loose? The 2002 Ford Windstar hasn't been driven in a long time. The gear shifter was very hard to move but after driving it a lot, the shifter is easy to move. Is this normal? If not, what is wrong and how do I fix it?

- Ford KA reverse gear problem? This only happens in reverse, but when I try to select reverse it won't always let me select the gear. Also when I lift the clutch up a very horrible grinding sound appears when you don't put it into the gear properly. When this happens I always try to put it in properly but it still happens sometimes. It is a 56 plate KA Is it the gearbox, is it the clutch I don't know, but it is very annoying and inconvenient for me and other users of the road.
- Why my cars gear stick popping out from 1st to 3rd gear, from 2nd to 4th? The car is Ford Focus 2002 1.8tdci. Poppong out from 1st gear to 3rd and from 2nd to 4th. Reverse works fine, I'm able to start to drive car from 3rd gear with balancing clutch and acceleration. No strange noises thou.
