blockisle9 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 This is kind of off topic, I was just wondering does the gear selector on late model automatic transmitions have any machanical connection to the transmition or is it done electronically now? I'm curious?? Thanks Lenny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blockisle9 Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 I kind of figured that, I guess they can save a lot of space by just putting in a selector switch. How does the tranny get locked in park? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I assume there is a solenoid that engages the parking pawl electronically but I'm not 100% sure. The mkz has push buttons so that one has to be electronic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khyros Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 In a Ford, If it has a lever, it has a cable. Yup. Just confirming what YT90SC said. It is cable driven. The MKZ is completely different than the Ford line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
