2000 Lincoln Navigator transmission problems

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2000 NAVIGATOR. I BOUGHT IT FROM A PRIVATE OWNER ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. WHEN GO TO CHANGE GEARS, THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES WON'T GO INTO GEAR OR IF I PUT IT IN PARK, IT SOMETIMES WON'T GO. THEN I TRIED TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE WHEN PARKING, WHICH IS WHAT I HAD TO RESORT TO DUE TO THE VEHICLE NOT STAYING IN GEAR, IT ALSO WOULD NOT WORK. I WENT TO GET MY VEHICLE SAFETY INSPECTION AND OF COURSE IT DID NOT PASS. SO THAT PROMPTED MY ONLINE RESEARCH AS TO HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEN I CAME ACROSS THE RECALL IN FORMATION FOR THIS VEHICLE AND SIMILAR MODELS AND I SEE THAT SOME RECALLS WERE MADE, BUT NOT FOR MY VEHICLE'S YEAR. I WAS WONDERING IF MY VEHICLE'S YEAR MODEL SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN SOME OF THE OTHER RECALLS BECAUSE I HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM BUT MY VEHICLE IS A 2000 AND THE RECALL WAS FOR A 1998 AND SO ON. THANK YOU.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:COLUMN SHIFT

UPON DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD,WITH NO AAPARENT PRELIMINARY WARNINGS, A SCREW FELL FROM UNDER MY DASH ONTO MY FEET. I DISMISSED IT AS A DASH COVER SCREW AND KEPT DRIVING. UPON REACHING MY HOME AND TRYING TO PUT MY GEARSHIFT INTO "PARK", I REALIZE THIS SCREW HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE GEAR SHIFT AND LINKAGE. THE SHIFTER IS NOW LOOSE AND WILL NOT GO INTO "PARK". IF I HOLD IT TOWARDS THE "P" I AM ABLE TO GET MY KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION. I NOW HAVE TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE AND I HAVE TO START THE CAR IN "NEUTRAL". NOT A SERIOUS ISSUE UNLESS IT PROGRESSES AND THE GEARSHIFT FALLS OFF. I WILL HAVE IT FIXED BY THE DEALER TOMORROW - JUST THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM.
