Selector Lever Check
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Check for misadjustment in the selector lever by matching the detents in the selector lever with those of the manual control lever in the transmission. REFER to AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION EXTERNAL CONTROLS for selector lever cable adjustment.
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 selector lever cable adjustment.
