If it's an auto, you could just get an aftermarket cable shifter from a speed shop.
shifter is broke. my ranger was the same way. take the shifter off , and the ear on the other end will be broke. simple to fix. jus find another shifter like i did.
No, it won't. The original shifter knob from ford is a press on design where the hurst is a screw on design.
I have a 1992 Ford ranger with a manual transmission. A while back, my truck's shifter knob just came loose.It's all plastic, and I think it was just held on by pressure. I don't know what type your truck's shifter knob would be, since I really haven't driven any newer rangers.
your syncros might be worn or the shifter might need a new plasice ball on the end or the whole shifter needs rebuilt
The shifter linkage is loose or the drive gear is worn out.
A 1993 Ford Ranger shifter may not be compatible with a 1997 Ford Ranger 5-speed transmission due to potential design and mechanical differences between the two model years. While both vehicles are part of the same Ranger family, it's essential to verify the specific transmission model and shifter design for compatibility. It's advisable to consult a repair manual or a professional mechanic for confirmation and to ensure proper fitment.
You will need to remove the boot and such to get to the base of the shifter. I have a 1990 and I had to remove 3 star bolts/screws on the base of the shifter. Once removed, the lever assembly pulled right out.
That would depend on what year of Ford Ranger and what size of engine it has
Remove shifter from the top and try to align shift pegs
Check the starter relay on the right side above the fender the little red wire going to the top sometimes comes loose
Years ago I have 93 ranger. In it you would pry the shift pattern plastic thing out of the stick and there was a screw or nut (been so long cant remember which one now). That is how I changed mine.
Everything that you have will work. The Mazda is the same as the Ford, all the parts are the same.
