Re: steering column
Just hook the linkage up, it will work. That's the difference between a tilt and non-tilt column.

Re: steering column
There is a metal piece with notches in it up at the top of the column (steering wheel end) that the shifter lever rides on. This piece keeps you from being able to shift out of "P" or out of "N" and "D" without pulling back on the shifter lever first.

Re: steering column
And it is a MUCH better set up than the junk non tilt truck columns.

Re: steering column
There's supposed to be a little spring in the column that pushes on the handle to make sure it is engaged with the notched metal piece. I'm guessing the column was shipped to you with the shifter handle removed. Maybe the spring fell out during shipping. It's possible that the spring fell inside the column. I had mine fall off inside the column and I had to disassemble the column to get it out.
