Transmission questions I boughta 1992 f150 with a 302. The guy put a c6 tranny in it but it was out of a floor shifter truck and mine is a column shifter ( automatic). The gears are backwards in the truck, park is low and low is park. I was wandering if there was a peice to fix this problem or will i have to tear into the tranny? If so, where can i find the partor what repairs do i need to make in order to get the problem fixed? Also, is there anyway you can tell me what type of tranny came out of the truck. Thank you for any advice

3 engines not told.
ahh 2 posts , the word DRIVE no told at all, A/T or m/T BOX
AUTO OR SHIFT WE CAN NOT GUESS WHAT ENGINE IS THERE Nor WHAT TRANNY. is there ,BUT 4WD SURE.
i LAST SAW A COLUMN SHIFT LEVER IN THE 60, AND EVERY one i ripped out for floor Hurst shifter, 4speed box. manual

in R or D or L,1,2,3????????4r100 /4R70, auto? box??
the larger r100 box fits on the larger engine. see?

column shifter, really, the shift lever is there?
i GUESS YOU MEANT THE ip CLUSTER PRND123. IS READING WRONG/ GEARS OR A CRAZY DISPLAY? or blank?
IF CONFUSED,POST YOUR VIN WITH XXXX- AT THE END.


TELL IF THE TRUCK IS AUTO OR MANUAL STICK SHIFTED TRANNY, YOU ONLY SAID THE WORD GEARS, AND MEANS NOTHING. EVEN CVT HAS 1 GEAR. sorry but all I can guess this.

GOT A LEFT FOOT CLUTCH PEDAL? (MINE DID)
MAKE SURE 4WD IS NOT STUCK IN nEUTRAL. 4h n 4L


yes the IP cluster is above the steering column but is not part of it at all (physically )_Instrument panel cluster full name.

if the A/t box fails, if M/T box please say so. if yes the MC is dry?
do this:
1: check all fuses
2: scan the PCM or all DTC errors for sure tranny.!
3: the cluster display is a pure digital brain, PRNDL321 ,etc.and if DTS sends out wrong transmission range to the cluster (digital comm) the cluster will show that all wrong or dead and if wrong the A/t box cannot shift..
if the IP cluster shows any wrong things or things good, that information needs to be told.
DTS is digital range transmission switch.(at the hand floor shifter level)
the DTS sends this to many things, and all things fail if DTS fails.
good luck with this truck,

Those run through the floor. You will have to remove part of the shifter console to get to the cable. It has removeable fork clips that release the cable from the floor shifter. The tranny has those same clips that run to the transmission parking pawl(an arm off the side of the tranny that allows the tranny to be shifted). This is not easy to do and you will need patience.

Is it a column shifter or on the floor between seats? Sounds like a cable adjustment problem. I would block wheels and properly jack up car to access the transmission shifter linkage . Check to see if you can get tranny to go into park by hand by moving the level on the drivers side of transmission

Time for a rebuild

Just swap the gear indicators.

It sounds like this guy who installed your transmission dinn;t adjust the shift cable correctly or damaged a part that bolts to the drivers side of the transmission called the interlock switch Don;t get me wrong its not an easy job to replace the transmission in your vehicle But paid a lot and it should work I seggest you call the shop and explain you can;t shift the vehicle I have a feeling that its the interlock switch its hooked drectly to the shifting mecanisum its not easy to remove with out damageing and should have been replaced with transmission job its a 20 dollar part it could still be the cable adjustment but at any rate its sure not your fault

Have you tried replacing the speed sensor? Also is your car a column shift or floor shifter? If it is a column shifter make sure to inspect your linkage between the shifter and the tranny.

If you are llokin at a late 60's Early 70's Nova and transmission set up. There is no wireing on transmissions. Wireing for that vintage cars were on either on the steering column under dash for column shifters. on in floor console for floor shifters.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

If necessary for access or service remove the steering wheel. Except for on 1967-69 simulated wood wheels, be sure to use a steering wheel puller.

1. Remove the nut/bolt from the upper intermediate shaft coupling, then separate the coupling from the lower end of the steering column.
2. If equipped with a column mounted shifter, disconnect the transmission control linkage from the column shift tube levers.
3. If equipped with a floor shifter, disconnect the backdrive linkage.
4. Disengage all of the electrical connectors from the steering column assembly.
5. Remove the floor pan cover-to-floor screws, the floor seal, and the cover.
6. Remove the steering column bracket-to-instrument panel nuts and carefully lower the column. If equipped with an automatic transmission, disconnect the shift position indictor pointer.

Once the steering column has been removed from the vehicle, be careful not to drop it (especially on it's end), lean on it or damage it in any way; the column is very susceptible to damage.

1. Remove the column from the vehicle.

To install:

1. Position the steering column in the vehicle. If equipped with an automatic transmission, connect the shift position indicator pointer.
2. Raise the column into position, then install the column bracket-to-instrument panel nuts and tighten to 25 ft. lbs. (34 Nm).
3. Install the floor pan seal and cover, then secure using the retaining screws.
4. Engage all of the electrical connectors to the steering column assembly.
5. If equipped with a floor shifter, connect the backdrive linkage.
6. If equipped with a column mounted shifter, connect the transmission control linkage to the column shift tube levers.
7. Connect the intermediate shaft coupling to the lower end of the steering column, then secure using the nut/bolt.
8. If removed for access or service, align the matchmarks and install the steering wheel.
9. Connect the negative battery cable.

Good luck..
