Replaced the one on my `87 F250 C6 diesel about 6 months ago. If you have the new replacement kit it explains a lot ( about $23.00 as I remember. ). You have to remove the surround fron the Inst. cluster and the cowling from round the lower part of the steering column just in front of the dash. Then remove the screws holding the inst cluster in. Ease the cluster forward and you get access to the two screws holding on the trans indicator. You can remove this without having the inst cluster fully removed. Getting the new one in is akward but doable. There is a sloted screw fixing at the other end of the cable that enables you to set the indicator pointer exactly right. Hope this helps.

In the kit you get a new "window" with the red pointer and with the new cable connected to it. Click on DirectFordParts in the list of sponsors and fill in the order page. I got one that way, about $23.00 if I remember right. Just ask for the tranmission shift indicator assembly.

As a note to anyone searching.
I couldn't find the part in any of the online stores including diagrams, and that's why I ordered it from the dealer.
The part number for an AOD indicator is E7TZ7A110D and it can be bought for about $25 online. Live and learn...
I'll update this again once I install the part if I run into any snags, but looks pretty straightforward from this point on.
