Do not heat it, lubricate it. Working it back and forth with oil on the threads will bring about magical results.

@JeffreyFeyh-rb4xk Год назад

I appreciate you doing the video in real time. And warnings on worst case scenario.

@trex2092 6 месяцев назад

Tighten the nut, CLEAN THE EXPOSED THREADS, then loosen it, the corroded threads is whats binding up the nut.

@TimCockrum Месяц назад

Thank you, just did mine today and it was rusted just as a bad. Fairly easy just time consuming

@geraldhague6170 Год назад

Try soaking with penatring oil &let soak

I have a 2011 xlt 3.7 with a code P0705 “trans range sensor input” I’m going to replace and hopefully my reverse doesn’t slip again

I just imagine mine will be the same. 2000 F 150 Thanks so much!

@user-xr1rx6gl7r 7 месяцев назад

Wow the only thing i wanted to know is how to put the shifter cable back on and you stopped the video just before that... Does it just push on? Do you have to slide something? Mine wont stay on;

@geraldevans2535 10 месяцев назад

Great video. One of the best. Thanks

@Mike-su8si 9 месяцев назад

Thats all the same on the 1998 ford f150 v6 regular cab. So you say its bad if its hard to shift it mines not hard to shift so then what im gonna do is put the new transmission pan gasket on first and fluid then see how it does mine might still be good and that'll be one less part i have to buy I'll clean the prongs off though on the electrical part

@Mike-su8si 9 месяцев назад

Im hoping my range sensor is still good.

@spudboyQ 6 месяцев назад

@claudiasiller3707 Год назад

As an amateur I always soak the bolts with WD or PB Blaster before I start the project, being careful with the overspray. Is there a reason I don't see more pro's using that method?

@codemansauto208 Год назад

I have not had much luck with PB Blaster removing the nut on this Neutral Safety but I do use it in some of my other videos

@geraldevans2535 10 месяцев назад

I’d certainly try it. Nothing to lose

Nahhh that heat won’t hurt the seal, the trans gets the range sensor itself super hot.

Excellent video.

@Seth-t1x 17 дней назад

My 2006 ford f150 xl does this once every 4 months then is fine. It won’t start in park but it does in neutral I know I should replace it but I want to make it do it again then replace it so I know it fixed it. Does anyone know how to make it not start? Basically make it break itself. Sounds dumb but I don’t want to fix it and it do it again and I wasted money.

@blake20054 8 месяцев назад

mines not throwing any codes but won’t start in park sometimes i’ll sometimes have to start in reverse or drive or neutral etc etc. hoping this is my fix

@prestonubc22 Год назад

thanks for the video. i see a leak behind the NSS on my 2007 f150 5.4 4x4. i think that seal behind the nss is leaking. question - what is the name of the seal? do you have a ford part #?

@codemansauto208 Год назад

should be a Linkage Shaft Seal, but not sure on the part number

@user-qf5gu6hp1l 8 месяцев назад

some parts books call it a shift shaft seal

I was driving back from Vacation- and mine started giving me a “Trans Fault” with a flashing o/d light- Took it to get coded and it read a P0705 code. Going to change this part out due to the RPM’s jumping between 4/5 gear.

@stormyday5732 8 месяцев назад

@@Mike-su8si sadly thats what im thinking trans light came back on after a couple weeks but seems to be realy finicky on when it shows up heard theres a problem with wiring harness over passenger header that likes to get melted together and then cause some issues. may be something to look into if your still having issues thats the next thing im checking before doing a tranny rebuild

@markhoffman1186 Год назад

good video. i got the 2010 f-150 the P0708 will this code put you in limp mode as well. i also have no gear indicator's on the dash is this part of the n safter switch your are replasing problum . thanks for any help or ad vice. also what if you are just a little bit off on the mark will it still sind a code.

no, it wont send a code but it might not start in park

@user-mt8ri1ki4c 7 месяцев назад

My f150 wont start I replaced the ignition and the battery and the silenoid and starter and it will only still start from the selinoid. Im not having any issues from the safety switch but it has never been replaced and is really old could it still be the safety switch not sending the signal to the selinoid and im not having any other issues with the safety switch thanks.

@unclebugg 4 месяца назад

My 2000 f150 would only start off of solenoid until I replaced the safety neutral switch now it's fine

@whoareyou8557 9 месяцев назад

Would this help with my 2006 ford f150, the problem is when I try to start it sometimes it starts and then other time it doesn’t want to start, the lights turn on and everything and then when I put it into neutral it starts up but on park it doesn’t, any idea? Also sometimes when I put gas it stalls to try to turn on and I wait a couple of minutes for it to turn back on. Thank you

@codemansauto208 9 месяцев назад

this neutral safety switch sounds like your fix

@nomoniker7917 Год назад

A torch shouldnt be anywhere near that switch or the transmission itself. Dont believe I just saw that. THIS VIDEO IS FOR WHAT >NOT< TO DO

@codemansauto208 Год назад

knowing your tools and their capabilities is what makes the difference between a good mechanic and a great mechanic and any mechanic that watched this video would know that I was using a soldering torch and not a cutting torch and a soldering torch gives you more of a controlled heat this torch is not capable of cutting metal but thanks for your concern

@nomoniker7917 Год назад

I agree & all due respect to you Sir but Im sorry, that switch is made of plastic, theres a wiring harness plugged into that, torch flame of any temperature belongs nowhere near that. Ford would agree with me, thats an improper method for removal. Proper procedure is use of a penetrating solvent/oil to break down the rust on the shift shaft itself, thats it.

@robertboyd3863 11 месяцев назад

I@@nomoniker7917 I believe he had the harness removed, so the only part ruined would simply be the end on the bad sensor , so to some it up , your worries are groundless

@nomoniker7917 11 месяцев назад

@robertboyd A torch flame, whether propane or mapp belongs NOWHERE NEAR THE TRANSMISSION. Ive dealt with alot of rusted junk connectors & hardware, if whatever youre working on is not made of metal completely or is too close to any plastic or rubber insulation, fittings or connectors...you dont do it, period...its a reckless way to work.
