How to replace and adjust the shift cable in Automatic transaxle on Ford Fusion?

Accepted Answer

This procedure is tiresome to home mechanics because it requires dismantling of the instrument panel and HVAC housing to handle the cables. First, take the air conditioning refrigerant to the dealer or the shop, or any other competent person who is well conversant in the matter. In the case where the car has been in use, then wait for a few hours before turning on the engine. Remove both the battery cables and allow 2 min with no connection. Then, pull out the battery and the tray, and the center console and, finally, the heater core/evaporator core housing at the back of the console. Remove the insulation pad and disconnect the airbag module, the clips of the harness should be released. Remove the cable from the shift assembly practically, it is necessary to eliminate it from the car to find out fasteners to which the grommet is fixed on a floor of the car. To remove the shift cable from the transaxle control arm there is a cable end which should be lifted upward so that the pressure from the spring clip can be released followed by a twisting motion. Take care not to pinch the spring clip. Relase the clips to come out of the cable housing end from the transaxle bracket, while make sure the plastic groove is still remained. Remove any retainers that are fitted along the length of the cable and remove the shift cable through the floor with attention to the fact that grommet is an integrated part of the cable. It is simply the opposite of removal consisting on making sure that the new cable is properly tuned after the process and that the cooling system is refilled while recharging the refrigerant. Special for adjustment, release the parking brake and remove the negative terminal of the battery. For the third version of the service to 3.5L models it is necessary to erase the air filter housing. Shift the shifter in the Drive position, take the cable eye off the control arm and pushing on the shift arm at the transaxle place the shift arm in Drive then move it to Park. Move the shift arm for the five-speed or the six-speed transaxles to the right position or the Drive position as it is called. The terminal end of shift cable has an adjuster; pull out two locking tabs and move the lock up from the cable end. Push the end of the cable onto the control arm stud and make sure the adjuster engages on the stud. After recheck of all elements, you need to pull the parking brake and then check the car in each range to ensure that the adjustment is correct.
