ok so i have 99 f250 that i bought to long ago(salvage if it helps any)...ever since ive gotten it i have had this problem with the gear locking. first it was just that the truck wouldnt turn on unless i shifted the gear from park to neutral and bak to park. now it wont even lock in park, aside from that it will only shift from reverse to 2nd gear(P R N D 2 1)...if i wanna park i have to leave it in reverse while pressing on the breaks and then turn it off and remove the key. to turn it on i have to shift it to neutral in order to start the engine...im sure none of this is good for the transmission...if u could help me find out what might be wrong with my truck before i spend money on unnecessary parts that would be great...thank you

I edited the colors out of your question. That green was just too hard to read. You don't need colors to attract attention.

Allow transmission to come up to operating temprature re-check and top up if neccessary.

Got it fixed. I was told that I was a "band" on the inside of the column that was torn.
