This is a screenshot of a page from Ford's Technical Service Publications electronic service manual covering removal and installation of the automatic transaxle shift control cable. A labeled exploded diagram (D5893-F) shows the cable connection at the transaxle, identifying the retaining nut (N801555-S56, torque 19.1-25.9 N·m / 14-19 lb-ft), retaining clip (387660-S100), cable assembly (7E395), cable bracket (7B229), and mounting screws (NA605786-S2, 2 required, torque 20-33 N·m / 15-24 lb-ft), along with the transaxle manual lever. Removal steps 7-8 instruct removing the control cable from the bracket and pulling it through the floorpan into the passenger compartment. The Installation section gives six steps: feed the round end of the cable through the floorpan from inside the car, press the rubber boot into the body panel opening and install the bracket and carpeting, install the bushing and cable into the snap retainer on the selector lever shaft, position the cable in the selector lever housing and install retaining screws, install the shifter assembly, and finally place the selector lever in OVERDRIVE against its rearward stop while attaching the cable to the transaxle bracket and installing the retainer clip.
