According to video doesn't seem to be hard to adjust but I have never done it. Do you get any codes or pending codes??
good luck

Oh, I understand. Thank you very much my friend. I watched the video and it's quite easy to adjust it.

Seems those TRS modules act up a LOT on the windstars around your vintage.
Also make sure that the fluid level is FULL when checked with the vehicle on level ground, motor running at idle, Gear select in PARK.
Even slightly low transmission fluid level can cause what you are having.
Also, make sure that the fluid has been changed on at least the 30K mile interval.....a cooler line fluid exchange takes just over 12 quarts.

Thank you wiswind, you've always been of great help I appreciate it!. The oil is still the one they put in when the guy rebuilt the tranny, still is far from being 30k mile old and the level is right at the crosshatched area.

Here's what I did today:
I removed the TRS after disconnecting the battery (thank God I don't have the rust problem you guys have up north, when I removed it it was pretty easy, didn't have to pry at all!) it actually seemed to be a bit misaligned, I gave it a good clean and reinstalled it taking into account the marks on the 'N' printed on it; tightened both holding screws and tightened the nut holding the shift linkage. Didn't have a chance to drive it, but will surely do tomorrow and will post the results.
On the door lock, well its still doing it, even though I removed it and the tests were OK seems it has gone weak so I'll have to replace it with a new one (removing it is a PITA!).
Still no news about the PSD, it will open fine but won't close all the times, when I push the button the door will act like it's still trying to open (even when it's already at the end of the run). I guess I'll just keep looking.
Regards,
Oscar.
