Band - Overdrive

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

For component location, refer to TRANSMISSION in this article.

During 2nd and 5th gear operation, hydraulic pressure is applied to the overdrive servo.

This pressure causes the piston to move and apply force to the band.
This action causes the overdrive band to hold the overdrive drum.
This causes the overdrive sun gear to be held stationary through the adapter plate and the overdrive drum.
