I have done some research regarding my transmission problem, and have narrowed it down to water intrusion on the MLP/TR sensor. Ford has addresses this thru TSB 95-2-12. Is the replacement of this as simple as buying a new sensor, replacing the old and torquing up the bolts? From what I have seen the MLP is the same as the Neutral Safety Switch which I can get at autozone for 35 bucks. Is this the correct part or should I go a different route? Thanks for the advice gentlemen.

I'd like some feedback on replacing the MLPS myself as it was suggested to replace this sensor on a previous thread I started. I checked with my local AutoZone and they don't carry the sensor so I guess I'll be forced to get it through Ford.

 

You can get it at parts houses, such as Napa, for about $35. Ford wants around $100. Ask for a neutral safety switch, but specify that it's for an E4OD transmission. The MLPS is pretty much just a really fancy neutral safety switch. Before you pay for the part, verify that it has the same connector as the MLPS, since electrical parts generally are not returnable.

 

You can get online through autozone.com. They sell a Wells NSS, part no. F433. Says it will ship within 2 days.

 

I was looking to run the paper-clip code pulling as described by Steve83 to see if in fact I had the MLPS error code cominng up. After inspecting my setup and some further reading in my Haynes, am I right to conclude that this can't be performed on my 96 EB Bronco?

 

Just take that '96 to AutoZone and have them pull the codes (for free) since it's OBDII.
