Standard Motor Products NS95 Neutral/Backup Switch

When installing, make sure your vehicle is in neutral, not park, and that the mark is aligned before plugging it in or bolting it on. br>It also came with an extra plug for some other car, as well as metal rings that I didn't need for my 1993 Lincoln Mark viii. br>I'm not sure what's wrong because the check engine light has been on since I installed it, but it could be related to the new plug wires I put in today. br>This unit is supposed to be better sealed than stock, but out of caution, I'll use as much silicon lube as possible on a regular basis to keep water out of this little nightmare and shifting me down a gear while going 75. That was not a good time. The only tools I needed once the car was up were a flathead screwdriver and a 5 degree ratcheting box wrench 8mm with no angling neck. Before you get covered in grease doing this job, do yourself a favor and spray brake cleaner all over it. Because my car's exhaust gets in the way, it's difficult to get to. I'd be very unhappy if I didn't have that ratcheting wrench. The mark viii is on the left side of the car, under the driver's knees. br>Removal and installation advice; To keep it ratcheting, use your right hand to grip the wrench and your left hand's index finger to grip the bolt head. You can use ramps, but I used a 21" jack to raise the left side of the car (with the airbag system turned off, of course).

I guessed it was this sensor, also known as a Manual Lever Position Sensor (MLPS) or transmission range sensor, based on my luck. The MLPS parts in early 4R70W transmissions don't seal out moisture well and are prone to failure with these exact symptoms. br>br>This new part is an updated version of the 4R70W MLPS with the signature red seal/gasket, and it bolts right in place of the original sensor in less than 5 minutes. It takes longer to raise and lower the car than it does to replace this sensor. The transmission shifted like new after it was installed, and all of the random shift behavior was gone. Something to keep in mind if you have a car with a 4R70W transmission from 1995 or earlier that is acting up.

It was the perfect fit for my 1995 Ford Ranger. In 30 minutes, it was installed and ready to use. During the first snowstorm, this piece of junk stopped working. I had to go to a local autoparts store and purchase a new replacement switch.
