Shift Linkage Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford RV Cutaway, 2005 Ford Econoline, and 2005 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Check for a misadjustment in shift linkage by matching the detents in the transmission range selector lever with those of the manual lever in the transmission. If they match, the misadjustment is in the indicator. Do not adjust the shift linkage.

Hydraulic leakage at the manual control valve can cause delay in engagements and/or slipping while operating if the linkage is not correctly adjusted. Refer to AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION EXTERNAL CONTROLS for E-series, or AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION EXTERNAL CONTROLS -- F150 PICKUP for shift linkage adjustment.
