Installation Notes
Use the included alignment tool to set the synchronizer correctly during installation. Verify connector style, terminal layout, and engine application before replacement. This part uses a blade terminal design with 3 male terminals, so confirm the vehicle harness matches the original configuration on the Ford Explorer or Mercury Mountaineer.
