Ford Fusion 1.4 Gear Stick Selector Manual 2003-2012 2S6R-7C453-ME

Vehicle registration, model year or engine size alone is NOT sufficient to guarantee compatibility. Compare the part number 2S6R-7C453-ME and the physical design shown in the listing photographs with your original component. If you are uncertain, contact us through eBay before purchasing and provide your VIN/chassis number and the number printed on your original selector.

WHAT DOES THIS PART DO?

This assembly sits beneath the centre-console gear lever area and forms the driver's mechanical interface with the manual transmission selection system. Movement of the gear lever is transmitted through the selector mechanism/cables to the gearbox so that the requested gear can be engaged.

Wear, excessive play, damaged pivots, bushes or other mechanical problems within the selector assembly can make accurate gear selection difficult and can substantially affect the feel of the gear lever.

POSSIBLE SYMPTOMS OF A WORN SELECTOR

• Excessive sideways or fore/aft movement in the gear lever
• Gear lever feels unusually loose or imprecise
• Difficulty selecting individual gears
• Gear lever does not centre normally
• Intermittent difficulty engaging reverse
• Abnormal movement or mechanical noise around the selector
• Damaged or worn selector mechanism

Important: these symptoms can also be caused by selector cables, clutch, gearbox or other components. Correct diagnosis should be carried out before ordering replacement parts.

VERIFIED LISTING COMPATIBILITY

DO NOT ASSUME FITMENT: We have intentionally not advertised this selector as a blanket 2002-2012 fitment. The current compatibility information specifically substantiates the above Fusion applications from 2003 onward.

OTHER VEHICLES / CROSS-APPLICATION INFORMATION

Part number 2S6R-7C453-ME / 2S6R7C453ME is also documented on Ford Fiesta V / MK6 applications. However, variations exist between engine, transmission and production specifications.

WHAT THIS PART SHOULD NOT BE ORDERED FOR

• Automatic or automated transmission vehicles
• A vehicle whose selector carries a different non-interchangeable part number
• A selector with visibly different cable mountings, housing or linkage arrangement
• Any vehicle based only on registration/model/year without confirming the actual fitted component
• Other Ford models simply because the selector looks similar

Before ordering, compare all of the following:

1. Part number: 2S6R-7C453-ME
2. Overall selector housing shape
3. Gear lever position and construction
4. Selector cable attachment points
5. Mounting points and bolt pattern
6. Electrical connectors, where applicable
7. VIN/chassis information when confirmation is required

Do not order solely because your registration search suggests compatibility.

WHY CHOOSE A USED ORIGINAL-SPECIFICATION COMPONENT?

A correctly matched original-production component was manufactured for the vehicle's intended mounting geometry and operating system. This can offer an important advantage over an unknown low-cost pattern replacement where dimensions, plastics, pivots or tolerances may differ.

Buying a quality used component can also provide substantial savings compared with purchasing the equivalent component new. Depending on the component and current new-part pricing, used automotive parts can sometimes represent savings of up to approximately 70%.

Most importantly, part-number compatibility matters more than branding alone. Always match the component before purchase.

FITTING OVERVIEW

Estimated workshop time: approximately 1-2 hours depending on vehicle condition, access and technician experience.

General Procedure

1. Park the vehicle securely and isolate the vehicle as required by the appropriate workshop procedure.
2. Remove the gear knob/gaiter and necessary centre-console trim.
3. Expose the gear selector assembly.
4. Identify and carefully release the selector cable connections.
5. Disconnect any applicable electrical connector.
6. Remove the selector assembly mounting fasteners.
7. Remove the old assembly and compare it directly with the replacement.

These are general guidance notes rather than a substitute for Ford workshop information. Correct adjustment of selector cables is important. If you are not competent to carry out transmission-control repairs, use a qualified technician.

REUSE PARTS. SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS.

Every serviceable used automotive component that is reused has the opportunity to remain in productive service rather than being prematurely discarded. Reusing existing components can reduce demand for replacement manufacturing, packaging and associated material consumption.

By purchasing from THEPARTPILOT you are also supporting an independent automotive parts business focused on recovering, identifying, storing and supplying reusable vehicle components.

PART NUMBER: 2S6R-7C453-ME
