CEL Help

[v-mac]

i threw a code for the Transmission range Sensor while at the beach the past week...my car drives fine but it seems that at random times it will buck when im almost at a complete hault, well it did it after it had not done it in a long time and th CEL came on and i ran it and got it scanned and it showed the code for the Trans Range Sensor. Does anyone know anything about how to replace this part? i bought the part and have it but need some instruction on how to do this, ive tried searching on the forum and on Google with no luck, could someone please help me with this, i would really appreciate it, i just got the engine rebuilt in my car and ive had two sensors go bad already so im pretty frustrated right now, any help would be appreciated

from what i understand that would be the part circled yellow, there should be 2 bolts or so holding it on, 2g may vary in appearance, does it look something like that, i also found this procedure on doin it, but for a ford windstar but i would imagine its slightly similar, just to be sure its set right.

Set the parking brake and shift the trans selector to neutral.
Remove the shift cable from the shift arm with a suitable tool. It should pop up and off.
Remove the shift arm from the transmission shift shaft. Avoid moving the shift shaft during this stage.
Remove the switch from the trans housing.
Reinstall all the items previously removed.
Be prepared to adjust the switch so the vehicle only start in park or neutral.
There is a tool for presetting this adjustment but if you're careful and "lay" the switch where the faulty one was, this will reduce guessing.
EXCERSIZE CAUTION!! KEEP THE PARK BRAKE FIRMLY SET UNTIL ALL ADJUSTMENTS ARE COMPLETE!
