Mustang GT V8-4.6L SOHC VIN X (1998)
Shift Indicator: Testing and Inspection
To determine if transmission shift cable is properly set:
1. Stop the engine and apply the parking brake.
2. Place gearshift lever to the D (overdrive) position.
3. Push button on handle and holding the gearshift lever in this position, move it slightly fore and aft. A slight resistance will be felt as the gearshift
lever is moved up and down.
4. Position the gearshift lever at the position where the least amount of resistance is felt. This is the center of the transmission detent.
5. Let go of button. It should seat directly in the lever detent. If it does not, the shift cable requires adjustment.
