Where is the manual lever position sensor on 1992 Lincoln town car?

A 1992 Lincoln Town Car doesn't have a "manual lever position sensor" in the way a modern car with a manual transmission might. These cars used an entirely different system for the transmission. The 1992 Town Car used an automatic transmission.

Instead of a manual lever position sensor, it would have:

* Transmission Range Sensor (also called a PRNDL sensor): This sensor is located on the transmission itself and detects the position of the gear selector lever (Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive, Low). It's a crucial component for the automatic transmission's operation and the car's computer. Its exact location varies slightly depending on the specific transmission model, but generally it's near the transmission's top, connected to the transmission linkage.

To find it, you'll need to consult a repair manual specific to your 1992 Lincoln Town Car's transmission (likely a 4R70W, but verify). The manual will show the sensor's location and wiring diagram. Looking at diagrams online or using a parts lookup tool with your VIN can also help locate it.
