Yes it is a hex shaped threaded sensor that screws into transmission case just above where the shift linkage connects to the transmission case.This is neutral safety and reverse lights.May be 5 or 6 prongs.Good luck!

If you have the C5 trans, here is the info:

C5 Transmission

  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. Raise and support the vehicle safely.
  3. Remove the downshift linkage rod from the transmission downshift lever.
  4. Apply rust penetrant to the outer lever attaching nut to prevent breaking the inner lever shaft. Remove the transmission downshift outer lever attaching nut and lever.
  5. Remove the two neutral start switch retaining bolts.
  6. Disconnect the multiple wire connector.
  7. Remove the neutral start switch from the transmission.

To install:

  1. Install the neutral start switch on the transmission. Install the two retaining bolts.
  2. Adjust the neutral safety switch following the above procedure.
  3. Install the outer downshift lever and retaining nut, and tighten the nut. Install the downshift linkage rod with the retaining clips.
  4. Connect the wire multiple connector. Check the operation of the switch. The engine should start only with the transmission selector lever in N or P.

If it is the:
C3 And A4ld Transmissions
It's on the transmission....


// // 0) preLoad.src = ctl00_cphLeft_chRepairTreeNav_tvTOC_ImageArray[i]; } ctl00_cphLeft_chRepairTreeNav_tvTOC_Data.lastIndex = 35; ctl00_cphLeft_chRepairTreeNav_tvTOC_Data.populateLog = theForm.elements['ctl00_cphLeft_chRepairTreeNav_tvTOC_PopulateLog']; ctl00_cphLeft_chRepairTreeNav_tvTOC_Data.treeViewID = 'ctl00$cphLeft$chRepairTreeNav$tvTOC'; ctl00_cphLeft_chRepairTreeNav_tvTOC_Data.name = 'ctl00_cphLeft_chRepairTreeNav_tvTOC_Data'; //]]> is the back up switch - c17hydro_179.gif

Towing capacity of a a988-90 ford bronco II with auto transmission

Don't. Just don't. It's a French designed transmission and doesn't handle extra torque well. The 2.9L and 3.0L motors do have decent power but they are under supported by the automatics. If you are determined to try anyways, try and keep it below 1,200lbs and stray away from steep hills.

1988 bronco 2 transmission will not shift out of low unless you let up on the gas pedal

My best guess would be that you have a clutch problem rather than a transmission problem. If not the clutch, it could be a syncro problem with the transmission itself. This is less likely in my opinion since the syncro has more to do with going into gear and not so much out.

1988 Ford Bronco II shifts into 1st and 3rd gear hard and some times pops out of gear.

Sounds like the first and third gear synchronizer is worn out.
You might want to talk to a transmission shop to confirm.

I have an 1988 ford bronco 2 automatic V6 i pulled

There are shift solenoids in the transmission and apparently there's a problem them. I would get it to a trany shop and have it checked right away. If you continue to drive it you will ruin the transmission. Are sure you put the right computer in the vehicle? If you put a computer from a Bronco II with a manual trans in a vehicle with an automatic trans, the trans won't work right.

Transmission fluid leaking back, 1988 Ford Bronco

your output seal on the tranny or input seal on your transfer case is bad. you have to pull your transfer case to tell. this is a pretty straight forward job. block wheels. put transfer case in neutral. drop front and rear drive lines.diconnect transfer case shift linkage. there is a short commponent connecting the trans to the transfer case. the bolt on either end face each other. remove the bolts to the transmission. the transfer case is heavier than it looks, i suggest getting help. pull back on the transfer case until it will drop down. it will pull out a bit because of the trans output shaft. replace what will probibly turn out to be the tranny output shaft seal and reassemble in reverse order.

88 Bronco ii won't shift into 4 wheel drive.

Check to see if you are getting power through your switch on your dash. I also suspect your shift motor but it is a lot easier to check it with a test light.
