A/T - Delayed or No Forward/Reverse, Shifts Out of Gear

TRANSMISSION: AXOD/AXOD-E

SUBJECT: Forward Piston Change

APPLICATION: Ford

DATE: 1995

Forward Piston Change

^ No forward or reverse engagement.
^ Delayed forward and/or reverse engagement.
^ Shifts out of gear when coming to a stop.




All of these complaints can be attributed to a cracked or broken forward clutch piston. There have been three different versions of the aluminum piston in this location (the original plus two updates). Problems with cracking still persist.

A steel version of this part has been released that should prevent this from happening.

The Ford part number is F4DZ-7A262-A. The aluminum piston should always be replaced with the steel piston.

Note
The part number for the SHO forward piston is F4DZ-7A262-B.
