All Models (Except Blackwood)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 13 other vehicles, including the 2003 Lincoln Navigator, 2003 Lincoln Blackwood, 2003 Ford RV Cutaway, 2003 Ford Pickup, and 2003 Ford F550 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Remove the upper instrument panel steering column cover. Place the gearshift lever in the Drive position. Rotate the gearshift lever clockwise until it bottoms out (first gear), then rotate 2 detents counterclockwise (Drive position). Hang a 3 lb. (1.4 kg.) weight on the gearshift lever.
  2. Center the indicator in the middle of the "D" position by rotating the thumbwheel located on the bottom of the steering column. See Fig 1. Remove the weight and move the gearshift lever from detent to detent and compare with transmission settings. Readjust if necessary. Install the upper instrument panel steering column cover.
