Ford YL3Z-7E395-AC Transmission Shift Control Cable Assembly

To reinstall or replace the shift cable, one has to disengage the cable from the steering column shift tube lever or the steering column bracket followed by the rubber grommet and the cable shift through the firewall. If the car has an air suspension, it is necessary to turn the mode off again, and the button for this is located near the right kick panel. Lift the vehicle well on jackstands and then disconnect the shift cable from the manual lever, When doing this use the cover on the 2005 and later model, Expedition/Navigatior to access the ball-stud. Next, shift the reverse cable away for the reverse cable bracket. For installation, backtrack the removal process but before connecting the cable back to the manual lever, ensure that the cable is in the correct position and if it is an air suspension system, then bring it back to functionality. For adjustment, slide the shift lever to the Drive position, tape an eight-pound weight on the lever to keep it in place, turn the air suspension off if it exists and then jack up the vehicle on stands. Pull off the shift cable from the manual lever, turn the lock tab and place the manual lever to the 1st gear and then return to the drive. Bolt the shift cable back in place and engage the locking tab, finally, the air suspension should be turned back on if it has been deactivated. Lower the car and with the weight off the shift lever establish proper likeness between the gear indicator and lever position, whereby the engine should start only in the Park and Neutral and the back-up lights should go on in reverse. It is suggested that changing the position of the cable in such a manner that it satisfies these conditions or alteration in the transmission range sensor if necessary would be carried out.

Remove the weight from the shift lever.
