Stuck in park and reverse

Post by gcarter1985 »

So I haven't even bought this yet because I'm waiting for my truck to sell (don't to but I want the extra money to work on it). I've taken so much of a liking to this car that I've started to work on it. Current and only non drivable major issue- car will not shift past reserve. A4LD possible linkage issue?

Scorpio a4ld linkage is pretty simple, there is just a rod that connects the lever on the trans to the shifter in the car. Its purely mechanical.

Broken transmission mount with bad engine mounts can jam things out of wack....

Sorry for the late reply.... I feel like an idiot, in my automatic car I have to button to shift from park so with the scorpio you have to push down to get it to work. :?
