Section 07-01C: Transmission, Automatic, 4R70W | 1996 F-150 (4x2) (4x4) and Bronco Vehicles Equipped with 5.0L Engines Workshop Manual |
NOTE: Check for a misadjustment in shift linkage by matching the detents in the transmission range selector lever with those in the transmission. If they match, the misadjustment is in the indicator. Do not adjust the shift linkage.
This is a CRITICAL adjustment. Be sure the (D) detent in the transmission corresponds exactly with the stop in the steering column tube (3514). Hydraulic leakage at the manual control valve can cause delay in engagements and/or slipping while operating if the linkage is not correctly adjusted. Refer to Section 07-05 for shift linkage adjustment.
