How do you fix gear linkage for a 1992 aerostar?

To fix the gear linkage for a 1992 Aerostar, you will need the following tools and materials:

* Socket set

* Wrench set

* Pliers

* Screwdriver

* Replacement gear linkage

Here are the steps to replace the gear linkage:

1. Park the vehicle in a safe location and apply the parking brake.

2. Locate the gear linkage on the side of the transmission. It is a metal rod with a series of joints and levers attached to it.

3. Disconnect the gear linkage from the transmission by removing the bolts or cotter pins that hold it in place.

4. Remove the old gear linkage from the vehicle.

5. Install the new gear linkage by inserting it into the transmission and securing it with the bolts or cotter pins.

6. Reconnect the gear linkage to the transmission and tighten the bolts or cotter pins.

7. Test the gear linkage by shifting through all the gears. Ensure the gear changes smoothly and without any grinding or binding.

If the gear linkage is still not working properly, you may need to adjust it. You can do this by turning the adjusting screw on the gear linkage until it is tight enough to prevent slop in the shifter but loose enough to allow for smooth gear changes.
