  Q: How to service and repair the automatic transmission shifter on Ford Escort?

  A:

  The process of serving and fixing automatic transmission shifters requires starting by removing the transmission control selector dial bezel. The service on the automatic transmission shift requires disconnecting power connections from two components: the brake shift interlock actuator and park range switch. First remove the screws which secure the brake shift interlock actuator before taking out the gearshift lever cable nut. When regaining position of shift cable and bracket users should mind cable binding by preventing cable kinkage and next remove cable floorpan bracket bolts. The ignition/shifter interlock cable locknut requires the operator to maintain its factory position to prevent misadjustment alongside ensuring proper shift-lock functionality. The operator should hold the ignition/shifter interlock cable locknut in position before loosening the other locknut while positioning the cable to the side. The gearshift lever will become accessible after you remove the nuts. The reinstallation requires shift cable adjustment before the bracket and dial bezel revision and finished by performing the uninstallation steps in reverse order. The front screw must be removed first to gain access to the gearshift knob followed by correct adjustment of the gearshift lever before removing the right-hand side screw. The gearshift lever knob screws require Threadlock and Sealer EOAZ-19554-AA for installation according to Ford specification WSK-M2G315-A5 (Type II). Use this product when rebuilding the system then proceed with the reversal of the removal steps.
