I'm having difficulty pulling the TR sensor Manual lever Retaining pin part # 307-592, I've managed to get some of the pin out, but it doesn’t seem to want to come any further?

Hi,

To replace the range sensor on this vehicle, you will need to drain the transmission fluid, remove the pan, and then remove the valve body to access it.

If you look below, I started with the main control valve body removal/replacement. After that will be the directions for replacing the range sensor.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe

So, if I already replaced the transmission range sensor in a 2009 ford flex but it will only go into reverse, what do I do?
