You can still leave it in the Acc position. If you have to you can leave it in Neutral and turn the ignition off the column will not lock. Just make sure the wheel straps are tight.

I will keep looking, but not holding my breath.

Very cool, Unfortunately we won't see any of those here.

it could need to have the door adjustment checked , sounds like it is sensing one door not closed enough.

That could help, you can also lubricate the transmission end . You can also disconnect the cable at the Transmission end and see if the levers are stiff .

That is one reason I would wish for a 2015 that would be great!

If it is a Gen 2 use the steering wheel switch to go into the menu and shut it off , you will have to do this every time you start the car. I shut mine off all the time. It is not so easy on the Gen 1, I think you have to pull the ABS fuse.

This is what the shift cables look like. The lubricant that you spray on will only get to the ends, it may help

That is a cable shift transmission linkage and it uses 2 shift cables to move the gear selectors inside the gear box. One of the cables has lost its lubrication and needs to be replaced. We do not have Manual transmissions in TC's here. We have the Focus which is the same. It is enough of a job that if you do one you should do both.. Before you take it apart have your mechanic take the cable off the transmission and move the shifter to check the friction. If the shifter moves freely check the transmission shift levers to see if they are binding. If the levers move as they should the cables need to be replaced. Let us know what happens.

Thanks for the great up date!

If you use the lifting Jack as a Jack Stand then you get crushed no matter where the Jack is.

I think forscan will do it, I use scan tool.

If you want to really clean the Trans you need to exchange the fluid 3 times and that will get all the fluid. I have done lots of towing with mine and the cooler on the trans holds the fluid temp fine.

You need to start the engine with the hood open and just watch the motion as the engine warms up . See if the motion changes, if it does then turn on the lights and heater fan and see if the motion comes back. This would add to your information.

Where I live if the car does not break in half in 5 years because of rust you have a good car!!

Yes that should work. As I think about it the fact that the gauge is stuck on full could be an indicator that it is the gauge.

There are lots of cars here with Run flat tires so to allow the spare tire to be deleted. I have not seen a No Spare TC. It could be an EU thing. If you get on a Ford Parts seller with a Manual you should fine all the parts and maybe a listing for the whole assembly. Hope you find a solution. Let Us Know

Yes and get a 100.00 Scan tool, it will pay for it self the next Time.

Is the vibration when the engine just runs or does the TC have to be driving. Check the Alternator, it works hard to bring the battery back for the first 10 Minutes.

With a Scan tool you can sweep the gauge and see if it is the sender or the gauge.

You are flushing the torque converter, that is where all the fluid is that does not drain out. Just running the engine will flush that and 3 times will get most of the old fluid out.

Remember we are the world leader in Covid Deaths!

Does that mean the tires? If so they should be put back on the balance machine..

There is a weep hole under the Pump pulley , sounds like you found it , Great Job.
