• Q: How to Service and Repair Automatic Transmission Shift Levers on 2009 Ford Mustang?

  A: The first step to fix the automatic transmission shifter starts with placing the vehicle in neutral mode on a hoist. Alleviate the automatic transmission shift lever cable from its connections to both the shift lever and bracket and dispose of the retaining clip. Begin by detaching the center console automatic transmission shift lever trim and removing its accompanying two screws from the center console finish panel. The first step requires removal of driver and passenger center stack kick panels followed by draining the two nuts at the bottom of the center console and the two screws at the front. Raise the center console before disconnecting its power point electrical connector and extracting the console. Complete the removal of the automatic transmission shift lever assembly from the vehicle by first disconnecting its electrical connection then removing the two housing bolts and finally extracting the assembly from its position. Set the automatic transmission shift lever housing assembly within the vehicle and fasten it using two nuts and two screws while tightening them to 9 Nm (80 lb-in). The installation process starts by reconnecting both power point and automatic transmission shift lever electrical connectors followed by center console reinstallation. Install two screws at the front section of the center console while installing two nuts on the bottom part. Reinstall the center console finish panel after securing its two screws. Then install the driver side and passenger side center stack kick panels before ending with nut and screw installation on the bottom and front of the center console. After securing the automatic transmission shift lever trim, use a brand new plastic retaining clip for the automatic transmission shift lever cable before placing it into the bracket and fastening it to the shift lever. Check that the automatic transmission shift lever cable has an appropriate adjustment.
