gear indicator problem

[timelessconstructionllc]

Gear indicator above odometer not indicating correct gear sometimes and then. sometimes it won't indicate that it's in a gear. A few times I've had to slam it into park to get it to indicate that it's in park so that I could start the truck. Any ideas what would cause this or what the solution is?

This seems a little tricky but it is not. This is the adjustment procedure that should fix your problem. It is also in the repair manual but I don't have it here at work.



Just go to the section for the 2004-2007 48RE Adjustments.

That's good info from BD.



What I found when I was having similar issues, the plastic cable housing with the two "ears", at the trans bracket by the manual shift lever. This was not fully seated, the plastic housing snaps into a hole in the bracket, the two ears spread out to hold it in place. One of the ears had not expanded so the plastic bracket was not being held securely enough. I simply shoved it in tight, the ear expanded, and all has been good since.



In my case, the plastic housing had most likely not been seated properly by me. I had disconnected it while installing my TC/3-4 Lockup switches... .
