• Q: How to Service and Repair Automatic Transmission Shift Levers for a 6R75 or 6HP26 Transmission on 2008 Lincoln Navigator?

  A: The first step to service or repair the automatic transmission shift levers of vehicles with 6R75 transmission involves removing PRNDL trim then taking out console tray and cup holder insert. After that, service technicians must remove the screw and console upper trim. First, disconnect the automatic transmission shift lever cable from the ball stud on the automatic transmission shift lever arm and automatic transmission shift lever housing before separating the automatic transmission shift lever electrical connector. Continue by removing console bolts to pull the automatic transmission shift lever upward from its position. It is necessary to first remove the automatic transmission shift lever trim plate from vehicles with 6HP26 transmissions and next lift the floor console upper panel from the rear. The process starts with disconnection of the automatic transmission shift lever cable from the ball stud on the arm and continued by removing the center console kick panel on the LH side. Finally, disconnect the cable from the housing and its electrical connector so you can remove the bolts to lift out the automatic transmission shift lever from its console placement. The 6R75 transmission requires the automatic transmission shift lever to fit into position before securing it at 8 Nm (71 lb-inch). Secure the automatic transmission shift lever electrical connector and verify locking tabs of the automatic transmission shift lever cable while attaching the cable end to the ball stud. Push the automatic transmission shift lever cable into the bracket until it produces the lock sound and verify the lock function with a brief pull. Secure the automatic transmission shift lever cable to its position on the housing and lever while paying attention to hear an audible clicking sound then reattach console upper trim with its screw after placing back PRNDL trim and console tray and cup holder insert. Follow the same cable connection procedure for the 6R75 when dealing with vehicles that utilize the 6HP26 transmission while installing the automatic transmission shift lever into the console and tightening it to 8 Nm (71 lb-inch). Replace the floor console upper panel afterward you install the center console LH kick panel and the automatic transmission shift lever trim plate. The adjustment process for the automatic transmission shift lever cable should be performed on each vehicle before concluding.
