Shifter lever was loose reverse is reverse natural is reverse

[katypetree]

I tightened the shifter then I got in neutral (vehicle is not in park) then when I went to drive it said the same vehicle is not in park. I finally got it to go forward in drive if Rpms was up but would just crawl. After that now it will not go backwards in reverse. Is it my transmission or my shifting cable loose, or the wires might have gotten moisture in them? Any help would be appreciated. IT IS HARD TO EXPLAIN SO PLEASE ASK ME QUESTIONS.

If it's just the shift lever itself, pull the rubber boot out and slide uo the handle, there is a bolt that tightens the handle in the correct position. If it is loose back out some and add a little blue loctite, otherwise if not the bolt I don't know.

I got that tightened up. But after I did I don't have the reverse like I did before but can go in drive but have to get Rpms up to get it to move forward

You might check to see if the splined shaft is in the right place when you tightened the locking "pinch bolt"

How exactly can you tell if you have it in the right place.

You've been dealing with this for a month and can't figure it out, take it to a dealer and get it fixed!

Actually it is at a dealership but it is a Ford one so it is just sitting on there lot and they mess with it when they have free time

Get it towed elsewhere….

We don't have enough information to accurately diagnose the problem.
Did this Ram slowly develop this problem?
Was the shifter able to move and not change the gear the transmission was in before you tightened it?
How many miles are on the Ram?
Are you able to do your own work on the Ram, like change the oil?
Can you drive this Ram in the condition its in now?
This is a Ram 2500 right?
