right under the battery and right on top of the tranny. just look real deep in there and you will find it.
May be the MLPS (Manual Lever Position Sensor).
Try changing the manual lever position sensor that worked for me.
Is the device you are calling the manuall shift lever sensor really a neutral safety switch? It is a device to help prevent the vehicle from being startted in a drive gear.
To adjust the manual lever position sensor on a 1991 Ford F-150, first, ensure the vehicle is in park and the ignition is off. Locate the sensor, typically found near the transmission, and check for any misalignment. Loosen the mounting bolts slightly, adjust the sensor until it aligns properly with the lever position, and then retighten the bolts. Finally, test the operation to ensure it functions correctly.
It is located on the side of the trans where the shifter lever is. also called neutral safety switch
The Manual Lever Position Sensor on a 2005 Mercury Sable is typically located on the transmission assembly, near the gear shift lever. It is mounted to the transmission case and is responsible for detecting the position of the gear shift, allowing the vehicle's computer to determine the appropriate gear. Accessing it may require removing the center console or other components for better visibility. Always consult a repair manual for specific details and procedures.
It Is Mounted On The Left Side Of Your Transmission Where Your Shifter Cable Is Hooked Up......
Yes. MPLS stands for manual lever position sensor. It is the old name for what is now called the neutral safety switch.
I was reading online that a common cause is the TR/MLP sensor (Transmission Range sensor, or Manual Lever Position sensor) You may want to look into that.
The throttle position sensor is mounted to the throttle body on the end of the throttle shaft opposite of the lever.
Interpreting "manual lever position sensor" to be referring to the transmission range sensor (TRS) / aka neutral safety switch ...Yes. The TRS sends information to the powertrain control module (PCM) that in turns sends control signals to the transmission.If the engine computer gets bad info than it's extremely likely it's going to send bad control info to the transmission.Luckily, a TRS is not very expensive and a rather 'easy' replacement.See "Related Questions" below for more
Change the MLPS (Manual Lever Position Sensor). It's called a Selector Lever Position Sensor in the Haynes manual. It's located on top of the transaxle. It's easy to reach. It has a wire harness attached to it and it's held down with 2 screws. I've heard that new ones cost about $50. I couldn't find anybody that sold them so I visited my local junkyard and and grabbed one for $10. You can also try replacing the transmission fluid, but don't bother trying to change the transmission filter. You can't do that without overhauling the entire unit.
