Default shift lever/gear indicator - 01-28-2004 , 02:08 PM






The gear lever on my 1990 Grand Marquis 5.0 EFI is starting to wabble.
Also, on the dash gear indicator, the needle is getting more and more
off center on which gear it is in. It does not slip out of gear.

I remember reading once, I can't remember if it was here, that if you
remove the cowl under the stearing wheel column, there is an
adjustment located there to tighten this up. Is this correct?

If not, does this have to be down by a transmission mechanic?

Thank you!

Thanks for the confirmation. I finally got around to it today and it
turned out to be easier than I thought. The thumbscrew adjustment was
a little hard to find under there at first, kind of crowded, but as
soon as I found it, a couple of turns moved the needle perfectly.

Thanks again.
