My shifter became incredibly difficult to use and the culprit was the Neutral Safety Switch basically frozen. I guess that can happen to a 24 year old part. I replaced it, but I just can't get the alignment right. I just can't rotate it far enough for it to be aligned and still be able to bolt in the side bolts. I'm positive I have the shaft in the neutral position. I thought maybe it was the TRQ replacement not being quite right, so I grabbed the Motorcraft F7LZ-7F293-AB (SW-5713) unit and have the same issue. Getting P0705 errors now, which would be correct as it's not aligned. Is there a shaft adjustment inside the tranny I need to mess with?
