• Q: How to Service and Repair a Shift Cable and Bracket for 4R70E and 4R75E on 2009 Ford E-150?

  A: The first step to work on the shift cable and bracket of the 4R70E and 4R75E is to disassemble the two screws and the Data Link Connector (DLC). The lower finish panel of the steering column opening can be extracted by unclipping the retaining elements. Proceed with the removal of four steering column nuts securing it to the cross car beam followed by steering column lowering. Reinstall these nuts with a torque of 133 lb-in after completion. Remove the shift cable from the steering column shift tube lever by gently unlocking and removing it from the column bracket. Insert the rubber grommet along with the shift cable through the bulkhead onto the vehicle then hoist it to display neutral position. Detach the shift cable from the manual control lever through a procedure which avoids putting pressure on the transmission manual control lever and shift cable bracket. Remove the locking tab and shift cable from the bracket before discarding the tab while you detach its bolt holders with a torque of 28 Nm (21 lb-ft) before reusing them on reassembly. To install the shift cable you need to lock the tabs by pushing the cable into the bracket until you hear it click and check the secure position by pulling at it. Adjust the shift cable through its necessary process.
