Hello! If your Mustang is equipped with the 5.0L H.O. engine, it should be interchangeable. That was the last year that Ford used that engine before they swapped to the 4.6L. You may also want to check into the source of your leak. It could be something simple that may possibly be a cheaper and quicker fix. Write back if you have any further questions. Thank you!

If your vehicle is stalling BEFORE you shift the transmission to reverse, you may be experiencing a driveabilty problem with the engine, instead of a transmission concern. A lot of times, the engine can be stalling due to carbon build up in the intake system choking the engine down.

Most column shift indicators are connected to the gear shift arm via a little string that pulls the indicator past the PRNDL1. There is an adjustment knob that you can turn in or out to fine tune the indicator. If you cannot get the indicator to correctly match the gear, there may be a broken slide that the string rides on. Thank You!

It sounds as though there is something internal that is binding and not allowing the shift cable to move the linkage on the transmission. Is this what originally broke the cable? With the cable off of the transmission, I would try to move the transmission linkage by hand. (BE SURE TO HAVE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE APPLIED AND THE WHEELS BLOCKED!!).
