A lot of people will say that you need to peak and tune the radio to get more range. And it will, but what it really comes down to is your antenna system.

Even with the best peak and tune, if you don't have a good antenna system, it won't do you any good.

You need to make sure the antenna is a good match. If you don't know what that means, then you should refer to your manual on SWR. The antenna has to be tuned so that transmit power does not get reflected back into the radio. If that is happening, all of the RF power is not leaving the antenna, and you are not getting out as good as you can.

Once you have a good antenna system, then you can worry about peak and tuning. But for a peak and tune, I charge.

I have a 2001 mercury sable i was pulling out at a light and it acted like it went into nuetrel now all i have is park. What can be the problem? Yes theres fluid in it
Something with the electronic's more then likely . The digital transmission range sensor is an input to the PCM - powertrain control module . Do you own a professional type scan tool to check control module input data parameters ? Know how to check electrical circuits with a volt ohm meter ? Free wiring diagrams here http://www.bbbind.com/free-tsb Enter vehicle info. year , make ,model an engine size . Under system click on transmission / transaxle ,then under subsystem click on transmission controls . Click the search button ,then the blue link. The PCM needs to see an input from the range sensor to select a shift solenoid for the gear selected . Could be the range sensor . But without testing that is just a guess .

Its hard putting into reverse
Normally when the transmission is hard to get into a gear ,it means the clutch isn't fully releasing making it hard to put the transmission in gear. More information is needed. If this vehicle has a hydraulic master cylinder for the clutch then the reservoir needs to be checked that the fluid is in the full range, If it is then there could be air in the system and the hydraulic system will have to be bled to remove the air. If the vehicle has a cable then the free travel needs to checked. If there is too much free travel then the cable will need to be adjusted to remove the free travel.

Car won't shift forward or reverse fluid level in transmission is reading over full It said to replace transmission range sensor before spending money on transmission cost
if the transmission will not engage a gear then the torque converter servo/solenoid will need attention
running the fault codes will identify the exact cause and at autozone the read is free.
drain out excess oil as that creates frothing of the oil which will give transmission problems.

How to fix the shift cable



  1. Position the steering column transmission shift lever to PARK (P).
  2. Apply the parking brake.
  3. Raise the vehicle. Refer to Vehicle Lifting.




  1. Position the transmission range select lever to PARK (P). Rotate the range select lever clockwise until it reaches the full mechanical stop position.




  1. Slide the black retaining clip forward on the range select lever cable end. This will allow the white lock button to be pushed out.




  1. Push the white lock button on the range select lever cable end out. This will free the metal core adjust body which is inside the cable end. Do not push the white lock button completely out.
  2. Inspect the metal core adjust body on the cable end for dirt or debris that may restrict the travel. Remove any debris by washing the cable end, the metal core adjust body, and the white lock button with soap and water. If the travel of the metal core adjust body remains restricted after the cleaning, replace the cable assembly.
  3. Lower the vehicle.
  4. Ensure that the parking brake is applied.
  5. Turn ON the ignition switch.




  1. Move the transmission shift lever from PARK (P) to 1 and back to PARK (P) ten times.




  1. Place the steering column transmission shift lever in the Park (P) position.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
  3. Raise the vehicle. Refer to Vehicle Lifting.




  1. Position the transmission range select lever to PARK (P). Rotate the range select lever clockwise until it reaches the mechanical stop position.




  1. Push in the white lock button in order to secure the core adjuster body inside the range select lever cable end.




  1. Slide the black retainer clip rearward over the cable end until it covers the white lock button. Lock the clip over the cable end.
  2. Lower the vehicle.
  3. Turn ON the ignition switch.
  4. Ensure that all the transmission shift light positions (P. R. N. D, 3, 2, 1) engaged and illuminate. If you cannot perform this task, repeat the cable adjustment procedures.
  5. Ensure that the engine starts in PARK (P) and in NEUTRAL (N) positions only. If the engine does not start in PARK (P) and in NEUTRAL (N), the Park/Neutral Position Switch may need adjustment.
  6. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK.
  7. Ensure that the ignition key can only be removed with the transmission shift lever in the PARK (P) position.
  8. Start the engine and check the vehicle transmission shifting. The range select lever cable is properly adjusted if the steering column shift light positions are the same as the transmission engagements.

Manual Transmission seems to be stuck in low range. Transfer case in 2wd high range, however when transmission is shifted to 5th gear still only going 25 mph at 4000pm. Clutch seems to be engaging and...
The transfer case is stuck in the low range. If manual shift try shifting from low to high several times to see if free up. If electronic, check all fuses and make sure you hear transfer case change range. Do this by shifting with key on engine off. If no change refer to qualified transmission mechanic.
