Transmission Range Sensor Replacement - Ford - E350 - RV Transmission 🚨
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2024
- In this video, we are replacing the Transmission Range Sensor (AKA Neutral Safety Switch) on our 1994 Tioga Motorhome with a Ford E350 chassis. WE ARE NOT MECHANICS.
After spending a month on the road with what seemed to be a bad transmission crossing the country and back. We sometimes could not go any faster than 30 or 40 MPH unless we got that downhill wind. We stopped at a Ford repair center and visited a couple other mechanics at home and none of them thought to check the sensor.
We almost spent the money to rebuild the transmission but after some more in-depth research, we found that it may be the sensor. So for short money and a couple hours of time, we have fixed our problem. There has been no issue with the transmission since.
This is a DIY video, we are not mechanics or auto repair facilities. Do your own research first.

I like it the last minute you explain about neutral switch good job body help's a lot
Great! Thanks for watching!
I don’t know if anyone mentioned it but you do not need to remove the linkage from the cable. Just undo the one large nut and the whole bracket and cable will come off the sensor.
Thanks! I am not a mechanic so I just did what I thought would work but if next time it saves time I'll remember not to!
I got a P0706 code on my car and after a ton of research, this is the only helpful video out there. Thank you very much!
Glad it helped! Good luck with the car.
I just had this replaced on a 2003 Passat. It was easy to get to but had one bolt unreachable. My mechanic had to crerate his own tool to get to it. I love that FORD!
Sometimes a bit easier to work on older rigs. glad you got squared away. thanks for watching
God damn. I've been searching for the cause of my transmission's defects before going into the transmission itself. It does the same thing yours did. I've began experiencing this around the beginning of summer. The most I've had my 7.5l gas guzzler rev up was 5 thousand RPM, scared the shit out of me. I was coming home from a long day's work for Lucas Cattle Company and I put it in cruise control and was listening to music on volume 15. Volume 15 is loud enough, and I could hear my engine over the music. Quick thinking, I hit the breaks to take it out of cruise control so it'd stop rising and it'd fall back down before going into gear. I've burned a lot more fuel than necessary within the past few months, which pisses me off. Talked to a mechanic and he said it could be this, thank you for verifying that this is the problem. I've already did a fluid change and put a new filter, gasket, and fluid. It used to shift out about 8-22 times a day before then. Got it down to around 5-12. Did a solenoid change, that lowered it but then it raised back up to around 8 times a day at the max. I've dumped a lot of money into it and I plan to take and sell some of the parts I've bought. Thank you.
Funny how I caught this video only 2 days till Memorial Day and you mentioned about Memorial Day
These are informational, you said you picked up the part cheap but didnt day how much or where.
Thanks. I do believe there is a link to the part on Amazon in the description. It was around $60 which is short money compared to what we were about to spend to rebuild the transmission since nobody could figure the issue out.
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing the video, i know this is a old post but did your OD light on the shifter colum flash?
Thanks for watching. It did not come on at all.
THANK YOU for putting this up now I know where to find this switch
I just replaced mine on an 00 f150 4x4. it was a used one from the junk yard. the center nut was rusted on so tight. i had to heat it red hot cuz of the rust. but it shifts good again. before it wouldn't find 3rd gear. but it would have 4th and drive good on hiway
good deal! thanks for watching.
Way to go you showed me everything I had already done but skipped the part I needed to know. How to remove the flat nut for the shift lever
I have a 2008 f150, and my problem is second gear makes a loud noise, and then it's work just fine. Already changed the transmission fluid and are still doing the same thing.
Did you ever fix your trans ...no 2nd video
Yes, it was fixed not an issue with it since then and we put a lot on that engine on our travels! Thanks!
I have a 99saturn sl2, and it has a rough gear shift at 4mph speed, sometimes it continues to 55mph.. all 3 mounts are new, trans oil is new, trans filter is new idle sensor is new.
Is there a way to adjust that so both lines match? I changed mine and I’m pretty sure the lines matched up. If I shutoff the overdrive I still get that code popping up.
Great information you shared! Have a motorhome with the exact same issues. Just curious if you test ran the motorhome after you installed the switch? You made comment you were going to change transmission oil and filter.
Would this cause the transmission barely move in reverse?
No check engine light, just the loss of power in reverse
Check you fluid level because if your low no pressure and then let see check with engine on you know right?
@@briangreen8887 i broke band up inside the transmission 2600 complete rebuild
Hello, where did you find the replacement part? That matches the original plug with the sides that clamp on the neutral safety switch. The ones at the locasl parts stores have a different plug. 1983 f250 300ci 4x4 thanks
I believe I got it off of Amazon. Good Luck!
Does this also go for a 94 ranger because no body seems to stock that part for my particular ranger...Thx.
Not sure. There may be new part numbers or some NON manufacturer compatible ones. When I look up the one i used it's not available now. Good Luck
Was the OD light flashing ?
It was not flashing. Thanks!
Jay n Jazz okay thanks for the reply mine on my 97 was flashing and when we pulled the codes it had a P1728 and a P0708 which the P1728 was a slip in the transmission and the P0708 was the Transmission range sensor high Voltage output. I had a flashing O/D light when all that started so I replaced the range sensor and cleared the codes just drove it about 60 miles and it seems to be doing good now. Not saying every flashing O/D light can be fixed with the TR sensor but it’s worth a shot. Great video by the way really helped me out 👌🏻👍🏻.
Awesome! So glad you got it figured out. Ours never popped any codes but the transmission would slip a lot. We spent a month on the road and lots of time not being able to go more than 30 or 40 MPH. We even went to a dealership and they checked it out real quick and had no idea and we spoke to a couple mechanics back home and was almost ready t pay $3000 to rebuild the transmission before I researched it more to find the sensor. $50 and time to fix is a heck of a lot better than $3000 . 😀😀
Jay n Jazz 100% 👍🏻
Here due to code P0708... Trying to find out where the sensor is on my 02 mustang
i am asking a qustion :i have a 1997 ford explore and get revered real good but haveing problem with it going into drive at easy ..well when rearing up the engine then drive will kick in and no probleming when driving
Cassandra Harris sorry but we are not mechanics. Just research and do it ourselves people. Good luck
Can you find me the forum that you read that verified this before I change the neutral safety switch?
Sorry but i can't remember what the forum was as it was just over 3 years ago now. I did a lot of searching online, reading and talked to a couple mechanics and was ready to possibly rebuild the transmission before i decided to swap the sensor. Just have to search it out and see what you come up with. Always, Always do your own research first. Good Luck
Jay n Jazz Alright, thank you
@@alongthewayjj my Audi A4 auto seems to be going into neutral while driving.the revs shoot up and have to pull up turn off engine and start again happens very rarely and only when I'm doing short journeys never happened on the motorway or freeway thanks.any feedback would be appreciated.
Marvin Lewis my truck is doing the same did u figure it out ?
how much for labor you think ?
Do you have info about how to replace TCM on 07 equinox
Did you ever determine the problem with your transmission?
It was the sensor...
@@alongthewayjj gotcha, mine is not exactly slipping out of gear but has a weird miss or slip only going uphill. I'll most likely pull the pan and narrow down what it could be. Thanks
@@IDrivetruck good luck!
I Googled this fix for my 2000 bmw 528i and this pops up. is this what it is and where is it located??? I've Googled everywhere
+Chris Shurley I am glad you found our video and sorry to say that we are not mechanics. We did A LOT of research for months before I tried this fix on our motorhome. You will have to look up where it is on your BMW. I think newer and foreign cars may be a lot different. Good Luck!
my car ford 150 4.8 8v have this problem look, when I turn starts well but I give up Cundo begins to fail as you want to turn off the engine, the censor has to do with that problem as wel
rufo flores have you checked what the code is? A range sensor would not kill a car when given gas. More like an MAF (mass air flow sensor). Go to your local parts house, they may be able to tell you which code it is.
I have a 2006 Ford Freestyle Limited FWD with a CVT with almost 164,000 miles on it and It's suffering from P0701: Transmission Control System Range/Performance. The wrench light (limp home mode) comes on every time I come to a complete stop and resets when I turn the car off. What's the fix for it?
Fit new range scensor neutral switch.
sir my nissan sunny 2015 TR range sensor po705 not working. how can problem solve.
My 2001 V6 ford mustang will not start I only hear click. We swap a new battery, installed new relay still wont start. We removed the relay and connect a jumper wire from one terminal of the relay to +12v battery the car starts. Everytime we install the relay the car will not start.. Please help. Your feedback is much appreciated, thanks.

Did it work?
it sure did! haven't had an issue since.
I have a Ford ranger 1992 4x4 and the shift reverse is por. Sometimes it engage some times it does late. Does any one knows what it's my problem? So once it shifts in reverse it realizes perfect !
2006 Ford F150 dashboard lights comes on but mileage do not show up, what causes it not to show
+Beyond Car sales We are by no means mechanics. We just research and do by trial and error. I am sure that you can Google that issue and probably find someone who know what they are talking about. Thanks for watching and good luck!
Hyunda Santafe Transmission p1717
I have a 97 Chevy Silverado 1500... it cranks starts up and runs but when I drop it into a gear (besides Park or neutral) it kills what could possibly be my issue? i bypassed the computer hot wired fuel pump
Dee Best CO 2 oxygen sensor
I just fixed my Ford that did that. It was a torque converter clutch solenoid. Also known as the TCC. It's either that or your torque converter clutch circuit has a short
What transmission is this
A Ford 460 V8
Probably an E4OD, a 460 V8 isn’t a transmission.
@@alongthewayjj heyy
@@alongthewayjj I need your help , my eclipse speed sensor messed up n now I'm stuck on 3rd gear but it's an automatic. My speedometer doesn't work either
I've got a 93 f150 with the e40d trans, it only likes to shift from 1st gear to OD but I have 2nd gear but in D it won't find it, could that be why?
It's possible, but not having certain gears may be another issue all together. We are not mechanics, but DIYers trying so save some money. Good Luck!
Hey I’m have the same exact issue with my Motorhome right now. I realize this is old but any chance you could lend some information
@@brytodunsm5713 I ended up putting a new trans in mine
check the main nut that he put a washer on. before tearing apart put in neutral with the engine running after you block all tires and parking break #1if tires turning its partially out of gear and in drive /neutral. block all rear tires pull parking brake jack driver side up. when in neutral wheels should not move if they do the pointer on the neutral safety switch and theres one on the bolt or cable or move the cablelinkage youll here it shift make sure it in neutral go check it dont be lazy being lazy get you killed. work smart if done
properly that part will last you the life of the car mine got wet and the electrical malfunctioned. so i unplugged it sprayed with contact cleaner and air hosed it real good both terminals female and male. then i covered the electrical wires connections with silicone on the outside plug also the plug doesnt snap on all the time make sure it is on or it will come off and car will not start. i saved 250.00 $ check the main nut and electrical connector.
go ask a transmission guy at a trans shop theres not enough info on this part
Did this fix work
+Tamera McBride It did fix our issue. We replaced the sensor and the transmission issue was corrected. We were so close to rebuilding the transmission before I did more research and found the sensor. Thanks for watching.
what was the motorcraft part number you have for this ?
Check the description box i have the part and a link to Amazon for it. Thanks for watching!
Duty Raab
What year make and model ??
tengo problema con explorer año 98 me manda este codigo p0708 prende la luz si me pudiera decir que es esa falla
Hola Madeleine, El P0708 es precisamente que la compu de tu camioneta te esta diciento que tiene dañado el SENSOR DE RANGO de tu transmision. Es facil de cambiarlo tal cual lo hace J & J en este video. Saludos! The P0708 trouble code means that the Engine Control Module (ECM) has detected a malfunction with the transmission range senso
How much is th part
Need price on part
Back when this video was made it was about $60. Thanks!
How much was the senter
Hey There. The part I believe was around $50
Thanks
Timmy billieu. 250.00$
Did this end up resolving your trans issue??
It sure did! Thanks for watching!
Jay n Jazz thanks for sharing! #LifeSaver
No problem!! Another Question; DId you have the vehicle in Neutral before taking the linkage off?
Thanks in advance!
Yes if I remember correct it should be in neutral.
Thank you
2013 Ford focus transmission range sensor how to put on
Ssd
couldn't you have left the ball socket on the link arm and just took the big nut off. This piece of shit 2005 Ford Focus transmission range sensor does not have alignment marks. So guess I have to mark the old one and try to get the new one in the same position. Heard someone say you can put it in neutral and turn the sensor until the back up lights come on and it is properly aligned. Not sure because people talk out their ass so much these days.
We luckily had alignment marks. I did put it in neutral while working on it though. I am sure there has to be some way you can match them up. Good Luck
@@alongthewayjj I read that you can put lever in Park snug bolts down just tight enough to turn the sensor by hand. Have an assistant hold the key on while you turn the sensor. Tell assistant to turn key off soon as engine turns over. Then tighten bolts and see if it will crank in Park. Then shift to neutral and see if it will crank in neutral. If so it is properly aligned. I have not started taking parts off to get to the sensor. So I don't know if it will be obvious how to line up the new one. But I did notice today that the new one has an extra smaller hole through the sensor body edge by the connector input. I now suspicion that this hole may fit over a pin or something so that it lines up. If not I will try the method that I mentioned. Doing this free for an elderly handicapped neighbor and don't have a manual. So not even sure what all I have to take off. I will start with the breather and hope I don;t have to take the battery out and unbolt the transmission mount with the trans. supported with a jack to get to it. Thanks Zed
I would for sure put the drive wheels or all wheels on jacks if you attempt to turn it until it cranks. Be safe! 😀
Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla.
ok
