Default diagram of shift linkage.

Does anyone know where I can get a diagram of the shift linkage showing bolt locations and such? Its a 2006 Fx4 and its an auto. Earlier a bolt fell out from somewhere behind the dash and now the needle for the gears won't line up quite right ( have to mess around to get it into park, drive etc) this is as far as I've gotten

Yea lol, the bolt that came out connects 2 arms on the shift linkage and I think the furthest one in had something to do with lining up the needle. You can kinda see the little bastard behind the bridge piece. I guess from the back and forth motion of the shifter it backs itself out over time. Nothing a little loctite can't fix lol.

Yea, it looks like the bolt that came out connects 2 arms together, something to do with the cable lining up in the cluster I don't know haha but its in there tight as hell now what a pain in the ass it was. You can see the bottom of the bolt where the arrow is. That's the one that fell out.

Lol I like driving an auto, my first ranger was a 96 XLT 4 banger with a 5 speed. And so was my jeep. I kinda miss it...sometimes lol.
