• Q: How to Service and Repair Automatic Transmission Shift Levers on 2008 Ford Mustang?

  A: A technician should start automatic transmission shifter servicing and repairs by hoisting the vehicle into neutral position. The automatic transmission shift lever cable should be removed from its positions at both the automatic transmission shift lever and bracket with the clip thrown out. Start by removing the center console automatic transmission shift lever trim followed by uninstalling the two screws which maintain the center console top finish panel. The driver and passenger kick panels of the center console need removal while the console bin needs two screws removed from its base and two screws at its front to be removed before the console can be lifted for servicing. Acts of lifting the console and disconnecting the electrical power connector reveal the removal of the console piece. The disconnect of the automatic transmission shift lever electrical connector should precede removal of two nuts and two screws before slowly lifting the transmission automatic transmission shift lever assembly from the vehicle. Put the transmission automatic transmission shift lever housing assembly into the vehicle position then fasten it with two nuts and two screws while applying torque at 9 Nm (80 lb-in). Before putting back the driver console you must reconnect the power point electrical connector alongside the automatic transmission shift lever electrical connector. Fasten the console by securing two screws at the front of the console bin while installing the other two screws at the bottom section. First reinstall the driver kick panel along with the passenger kick panel before putting back the center console top finish with its installed screws. Complete the automatic transmission shift lever trim installation by using a new plastic clip for the automatic transmission shift lever cable then insert it into the bracket before securing it on the lever to lock the adjustment lock. Check that the automatic transmission shift lever cable has its proper adjust position.
