Where is the neutral safety switch on a 66 Mustang?
Where is the neutral safety switch on a 66 Mustang?
On the 65s the neutral safety switch is bolted to the side of the transmission. You have to get under the car, remove the shift arm and the kick-down linkage from the side of the transmission, which is a very simple matter. One nut, one cotter pin. You’ll see how to do it once you get under there.

What kind of transmission did the Ford Mustang have?

The first automatic transmission to be offered in the Ford Mustang was the C4, which replaced Ford’s previous Ford-O-Matic transmission.
What does it mean when your transmission is slipping?
If you have a standard transmission, and it’s slipping—the engine revs but it doesn’t transmit power to the wheels—the problem is usually in the clutch. Further down in the article, I discuss how to diagnose this problem.
How many seals does a front wheel drive transmission have?
How many seals the transmission has depends on whether you have a front-wheel-drive, four-wheel-drive, or rear-wheel-drive car. If you do have a seal that is leaking, and you catch it in time before it damages your transmission, there’s a chance it might be relatively cheap to repair.
What causes a transmission to have poor shift quality?
Dirty fluid can cause all kinds of shifting issues because it clogs up small passageways going to the shift solenoids. If the fluid level is low, there’s not enough fluid to fill all these passages, and the transmission lacks pressure internally. This will lead to poor shift quality or no shift at all.
Why do I need a half stick on my transmission?
You want a half-stick reading because fluid expands as it warms. Operating temperature is 150 to 170 degrees F. If (with a fluid reading on the dipstick) your transmission doesn’t engage, control pressure likely isn’t reaching servos and clutches.

The following are common symptoms and their likely causes. No control pressure. Low fluid level. Torque converter and/or front pump cavitated (no fluid or air in fluid).
