Gear Shift Problems

Hello all. I have a 1998 Expedition XLT. Just a few minutes ago my gear shift messed up :rolleyes !

The problem: When my car is actually in park the little indicator on my dash says neutral, if it is in neutral it says reverse and so on.

Has anyone else had this problem? What IS the problem? Was it costly to fix? Better yet- does anyone know how to fix it on your own??

the tab that holds it to the shift collar probably slipped...or the cable hopped a guide...
you should be able to pull the trim off the lower dash and column with a few screws and reset it.

you're looking for a very fine wire about the thickness of fishing line...

My '98 Expy has the same problem In My case, it was like that since i bought it 2 years ago. So ok, is there a step-by-step how-to? Or pics of what we are looking for? I'd love to fix it, even tho its funny when other people want to drive my expy and don't know what the hell's goin on. jejeje But i rather fix it. wanna have da x-p in exelent conditions.
