On the driver's side of the tranny you have what Ford calls the DTR or Digital Transmission Range sensor. That's a fancy name for what we used to call the neutral safety switch.

Check the wiring going to the switch, and then you possibly may have to replace it.

It must be, since the factory dvd has a picture of a special alignment tool for it.
