•CHANGES, CAUTIONS, CORRECTIONS
-SHIFT MOTOR FAILURE (Failure to shift transmission or rratic shifts) NOTE: This condition may be
caused by sticking brushes and can be corrected as
follows: Disconnect two wires from end of motor and remove the two through bolts, then remove end plate and
brush assembly from housing. Check for wear or burned
contract surfaces, and if necessary, replace brushes.
Spread brush holder to allow free brush movement
Sand armature commutators with No. 00 sandpaper.
Before reassembling, apply a coat of rubber cement,
Part No. B8E-19563-A between all joints, under screw
heads, around wires that enter the unit, and other
points where water might enter.
-INHIBITOR SWITCH PRODUCTION CHANGE & SERVICE REPLACEMENT NOTE: in later production cars,
the inhibitor switch has been relocated to second bolt
from rear on intake manifold, adjacent to left cylinder
bank (Ranger & Pacer); and to upper right converter
housing-to-engine bolt (Corsair & Citation). When replacing the switch on early models, install switch in the new
location. The new location will prevent salt spray and
water from damaging switch.
-STARTER ENERGIZED DURING NEUTRAL TO REVERSE SHIFTS CORRECTION: To check for this condition, connect a test lamp from red wire with blue
terminal to ground. With ignition switch on, depress
"N", then the "R" button. If test lamp lights, there is
current to starter relay. To correct this condition, reverse the two back-up light wires at their bullet type

connect oil cooler lines to transmission. Connect
throttle rod and manual control rod to levers on transmission. On Corsair models, connect exhaust pipes to
manifolds, then connect each muffler rear support to
brackets on frame side rails.
6) Lower car and fill transmission with correct type
fluid (see "Lubrication" above). On Corsair models,
install the two inner body bolts, floor mats, and scuff
plates. On all models, adjust manual and throttle control linkage.
