My sister has the 1999 expedition and the same thing happened to hers.I was living in a different state so i wasnt able to help her.But she said there is a plastic retainer that holds the shift linkage on the transmission that broke and thats what had to be replaced.She it was that expensive to repair and they took it to the dealer to be fixed.
