My 2000 Ford Ranger will not go back into the park position. I was driving it a couple days ago and when I got to my destination and tried to put it in park the selector on the dash/steering column stopped between reverse and park. It still goes into gear and is driveable but it won't go into park. Upon further investigation I noticed a star head bolt laying on the floor on the driver side. I took the steering column casing off and noticed several similar bolts but I haven't located where this bolt came from yet! I've taken several things off but I still haven't fixed the problem. Do you have any suggestions on a better way to troubleshoot and fix this problem. Thankyou for your time!
