The Bear Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Hi guys, Apologies for the number of topics posted... just a couple of little niggles I'm sorting out on the motor. My new Fusion.... shifts beautifully but today I noticed (just after I'd had my wheels balanced) that it was a bit hard and clunked in to reverse from 'P'. I put it down to being parked on an incline. But checked it a few times since and it's hit and miss as to whether it does it or not. Any ideas?A quick Google check and it seems the shift cable could be having some trouble, whether it needs replacing or lubing up. I was under the car yesterday having a nose around and saw this going to the transmission (this is a pic pinched from Google... Is this what I need to lube up. If so I have lithium and copper grease. I don't have any ''normal'' axel grease. Will this be ok? And do I just lube up the whole assembly? Any help guys would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bear Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 hi guys, right you can all ignore this as I've fixed the problem lol I played about with changing gears. it seems I've not been putting my foot firmly enough on the brake when I shift. as soon as I do this the gear selector slides straight in with no resistance at all :) I thin my old car doesn't need the brake to be depressed that much but this one does... i'm thinking something is engaged to free the gears to move... and I just needed to be a bit firmer ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Fords work on the premise that the brake lights have to be illuminated before the gear shift lock will disengage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
