I’ve mine replaced within a week, first dealer said the part is “back ordered “ but when I made my own research I found out it’s available several other dealerships, I called them and and verified the part number, then called back my dealership and informed that it’s available from other dealership, guess what they ordered the next day and 2 days later new shifter , no more problems.

this is all the dealer gave me when I picked the vehicle that was there for the nut recall and red wrench image

Dropped my truck off at the dealer yesterday and they said the shifter was on back order. How long have people been having to wait for their faulty lightning shifters to be replaced at the dealer?

Considering having it towed back to my house and installing the rotary shifter myself (even though I prefer the feel of the stock shifter).

The rotary shifter is far higher quality. Almost completely without any sound so no clunks and wiggles like the stick shifter and you get your entire workspace whenever you want. I got two just in case it crapped out, but I don’t think it ever will. You can get a 3-D printed enclosure for like 40 bucks and then 30 bucks or so for the rotary shifter and do it yourself. Never look back

Will the knobs work with the 2025 Lightning?

Where did you find one for $30? I just ordered a new ford escape rotary on eBay for $90.

110% they work

I noticed some have an L in the center and others have an M; what’s the difference between the functions?

I used this part number : LJ9Z7P155D
This one is for the Mach E.
Cost me $191 for the shifter plus 200 to install.

And you’ve had no issues with auto hold or anything else? There are quite a few that seem to have issues with the Mach-e shifter. I just bought a new shifter for the escape as many have said it does not throw any codes or issues.

my understanding is L is for low (effects ICE vehicles) M is for manual mode (maybe had paddle shifters) when you hold it in the lightning though it goes into neutral mode, same as the N clock button on stock shifter. Vehicle itself decides what to do with that signal. So feel free to pick the letter you prefer more

Ok so they’re virtually the same shifter for the most part. Just wanting to be sure it works on a 2025 before I order the parts.
