Firstly sorry guys for bringing this old question up but I really need my van back on the road and I'm getting a bit frustrated with it.right I had a problem getting reverse and sometimes selecting 2nd gear on my 04 FWD transit so I decided to adjust the cables I now get the gears but not when the van is driving it just grinds with no drive when you try to select 2nd or reverse .the selector pinch bolt was loose so I thought that was the problem but it's not cured it.if I try and select reverse and it just grinds I leave it in gear turn the engine off and I can manually push the selector arm into reverse it seems to be not quite engaged.I also didn't get any adjustment on the cables.the selector turret moves with ease without the cables connected.I'm really confused with this problem do I need new cables
Thanks guys
