even at my advanced age with all the things i have seen and done. as with most things, it's pretty apparent when you have it in the wrong hole. some things never change Doug.

I had this problem in P, since yesterday the issue moved to the D after someone assisted, thanks to him he fixed the P but the D remains a problem.
Thank you for this video.

Don’t pick the wrong hole, make sure it slides in and out smoothly. 👍🏻

MY GOODNESS!!! It's such GREAT INFORMATION!
You know what? You should create a separate channel, something like "Motion Raceworks Official Tech Tips" and simply repost these great tutorials.
I went "wrenching" with my friends as soon as I finished watching the video.
TWO THUMBS UP!

How bout a video on the steering column side. Got a 93 Eddie Bauer explorer in great shape I just LOVE! I only bought it a month ago. But as I was changing fluid n filter and needed to make adjustments because previous owner for some reason(what I’m told is he always pulled trailers a lot(has a huge radiator and extra trans cooler) and didn’t want 4th gear) AL4E(or those letters n # in different order) pain in the rear! Thank you for the great videos!

I have that same shifter in my ranger and it binds going into and out of gears. Mainly reverse and park. When I get back 2 my dads garage definitely 1st thing I'm going 2 do. They keep telling me 2 just get a new shifter. Thanks so much!

[gradyfarrer]

it is BY FAR best to do this with the pan off...make sure the detent is falling in the correct position on the rooster comb.
Also...with the pan off...you can make sure your dipstick is marked properly for "full" because most aftermarket dipsticks are way off for the "full" mark

Great tip, about ready to throw my freshened up trans back in the car. Manual vb, new converter and likely an aftermarket shifter, this will definitely help keep me from flushing a lot of money down the drain

My first time watching great advice. Working on corvette C3 but it all works. Thanks 🙏🏾 nosale

Learned this lesson recently 😂 I did the ol tensile strength test on my shift cable when pulling the original engine and trans out together. Didn't realized it actually stretched and snapped the plastic clip in the center console and I drove it the first couple tests drives like that. Was definitely in between gears... RIP 700r4 😅

What shifter cable are you using? I'm Running a 4l80e in a 3rd gen firebird

[darrenkelly]

I have a pro ratchet shifter. Powerglide with cable. Do i use the same spot for the pivot nut like in the video. Thanks. Number 2 on the bracket?

[xcchamber]

I am trying to get my powerglide linkage hooked up. I wanted to used the Factory 95 mustang shifter with it?
Could you give me a parts break down I will need to hook mine up??
Much appreciated thank you!

Hey good morning my Transmission is leaking fluid what do I do

[amirkhanahmadzai]

My v6 4runner 2007
Shifting thru all gears well but cant shift to 5th gear even manually i tried on highway from L to 4 gear but when i put in D it still in 4th gear.
And from stop to start when i put from park to drive it engage in gear.
Drive on shifter working but cant shift to 5th gear.
The problem occurs when ichange the neutral safety switch.
I think they misaligned the linkage.
Because no cel no code on car.
