Shift Linkage Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Milan and 2006 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Check shift linkage adjustment by matching the detents in the transaxle range selector lever with those in the transaxle. If they match, the error is in the indicator. Do not adjust the shift linkage.

Hydraulic leakage at the manual control valve can cause delay in engagements and slipping while operating if the linkage is not correctly adjusted; refer to AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION EXTERNAL CONTROLS for shift linkage adjustment.
