Check the shifter linkages and adjust if needed. The linkage may be in d2 when the indicator shows drive.
The 2002 Ford Windstar shifter cable goes from the back of the transmission to the bottom of the shifter stick. The cable is approximately 6 feet long.

the shifter came right out of the transmission how do i put it back in
Do you mean that the shifter is able to move from park to drive and back, but the transmission is still in park? Is it possible that the shifter cable is broken, or has come off at the transmission. You will have to jack up the car, on safety jacks, have someone move the shifter, while you look at the linkage right at the transmission. Should give you the answer. The shifter itself could also be broke. Good luck.

at the tail end of the transmission housing near the shifter shaft.
On the bottom of the transmission, Front of the car, driver's side, attached to the shifter linkage. With the hood open, look down below the battery. You will see the shifter linkage. The neutral safety is attached to the transmission with 3- 8mm bolts. You can also find this by following the shifter linkage or having someone shift the car from park to neutral while watching for the shifter arm moving back and forth on the side of the transmission.
Wiggle the steering wheel back and forth and run the transmission shifter down then put it firmly back into park.
NO it will not work. YOU MUST PUT THE 4L60E 4x4 transmission BACK IN IT.DUE TO THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IN THE TRUCK.
I have the similar situation on my shifter on my 1991 pontiac sunbird 2.0 Liter. The shifter was kinda loose last two year, but it shifted fine. However, 2 days ago. When I put in "Park" gear, it was still moving forward, I put in "Rear" gear, it felt like in "Park", when I put in "Drive" gear, it felt like in "neutral". And the shifter is sometimes very loose, but back to normal when I put the shifter back and forth. I took it to a transmission store, they found out the "shift linkage cable" from the shift to the transmission was broken. I changed it today and so far no problem.
The back-up switch is located on the transamission near the back, it is activated by the shifter rod when going into reverse. :: AverageJoeResto.com ::
(IF) we are speaking of a manual transmission: Remove the boot at the base of the shifter. The bolts holdin the sifter in place will then be revealed. Make certain, very important, that the transmission is in neutral. Then remove the containg bolts and the transmission shifter should pull straight up and should go back in the same way. Again make sure the transmission is in neutral. Shawna: Coming from had a manual transmission in one of my F150 trucks, one very important thing is missing. The spring! There will usually be a spring under the shifter stick. I looked at the Ford dealership exploded diagrams when I tried to get one. Ford does not stock them anymore and all part shops do not carry them. Without that little spring your transmission will not go back together correctly and shifting with become a large pain in the rear when it comes to putting it into 1st gear. At that point you just have to go down to the junkyard and get a used manual transmission for a lousy spring!
