I own a 1984 t-bird 5.0, I hear a strange noise coming from the console shifter. When the car is in all gears exept (D) it sounds like air is escaping from a small hole in the console. Its pretty loud and very annoying. Is there a vacuum line inside the console attached to the shift linkage in someway? If anyone has any info on what might be the problem that would be great. Thanks in advance...
i actually get the same thing, though usually when in park or neutral, though i think it might do it in Drive also sometimes.
My solution--i wiggle it back and forth a little and the hiss goes away :D :hick:
good news just had mine reparied on my 87 t bird its a vacuum release for the parking brake the part was still available from my local ford dealer here in richmond hill ontario.the cost was $35.00 bucks part only .
Yeah, most guys just cap off the vaccum port on the tree.. its marked "b/r"
