What year is your Mountaineer?

Also, your text description of the indications is not clear. Is basically everything shifted to the right one place? Ie: R is displayed in park, N is displayed in reverse, D is displayed in neutral, 2 is displayed in drive, and 1 is displayed in 2nd gear?

If so, it sounds like the cable is just out of adjustment. Will need to know the model year to give specifics on how to adjust it.

There is an adjustable thumb screw to adjust the transmission range indicator in the steering column. If you'd like a PDF version of the procedure, send me a Private Message with an e-mail address for you that can accept PDF attachments.
