2008 Ford Mustang Shift Cable Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the shift cable on 2008 Ford Mustang?

  A: Service and repair operations on the shift cable must begin with placing the vehicle in neutral and hoisting it to prevent any movement. Start by taking out the selector lever cable from the selector lever followed by detachment from the bracket while throwing out the clip. Step two demands the removal of the transmission manual lever from the selector lever cable. First disconnect the two bolts that secure the transmission selector lever cable bracket. Then detach the bracket from its position. Install the selector lever cable bracket first then lock it into place with the two bolts reaching a torque of 28 Nm (20 lb-ft). The transmission manual lever should receive the selector lever cable eyelet for attachment. The installation of a new plastic clip becomes necessary when preparing to insert the selector lever cable into the bracket. To finish the process attach the selector lever cable into its position on the selector lever then secure it with locking hardware. The selector lever cable needs proper adjustment to function correctly.
