The shifter dropped down. Dealer wanted $300 for shifter assembly. More than I wanted to spend or needed to replace. Put a bolt through floor pan and support bar after finding same problem on a different escort forum. Fixed it right up. Just has a slight rattle for a bit when accelerating but not like it was and shifter is in place. Took 20 minutes to fix and about $1 or whatever bolts and nuts cost that I had laying around.
Here is link to thread I found for fix:
