Re: Loose shift lever windstar 2000
I would recommend picking up a Haynes manual if you don't already have one. They recommend removing quite a bit of trim to get the steering column covers off. As for the tilt lever, there should be a small nut holding it on at the end closest to the driver's door but before the plastic end nub. You can use a small adjustable wrench to remove it.
The trim panels that Haynes recommends you remove are the Knee Bolster, Knee Bolster Reinforcement Panel, Headlight Switch Bezel, Radio Trim Bezel, and Center Trim Panel. You should then remove the Tilt Lever and the screws from the bottom steering column cover. They also say you should remove the key lock cylinder before removing the two steering column panels. When you are in there, do yourself a favor and stay away from any yellow wires. These are for the airbag system and messing with them may cause deployment of the airbags. Again, I highly recommend you have a Haynes manual to help as it provides some good pictures for identification.
