2009 Ford Mustang Shift Cable Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the shift cable on 2009 Ford Mustang?

  A: Service and repair work on the shift cable should begin with a vehicle in neutral position and situated on a hoist. Detach the transmission selector lever cable first from its strategic place on the selector lever and then detach it from the transmission selector lever cable bracket while throwing away the retaining clip. Separate the cable from the transmission manual control lever before removing both bolts that keep the transmission selector lever cable bracket mounted on the transmission hardware. Then properly take off the bracket. The installation requires screwing the transmission selector lever cable bracket to its position using two bolts which should be tightened until reaching 28Nm (20 lb-ft). Place the transmission selector lever cable eyelet onto the transmission manual control lever while using a fresh plastic retaining clip before setting the bracket into position. Complete the installation by linking the transmission selector lever cable to the selector lever and set the adjustment lock while checking the cable positioning.
