Intermediate (2, 6) Clutch: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Mariner and 2010 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The intermediate clutch is a brake clutch that holds the rear planetary sun gear and shell assembly. The intermediate clutch is applied in 2nd and 6th gears.

Hydraulic pressure from the regulator valve in the valve body pushes the intermediate clutch piston against the intermediate clutch pack to apply the clutch. The low OWC  works as a pressure plate for the intermediate (2, 6) clutch. The rear planetary sun gear and shell assembly is held stationary to the transaxle case as a result of the clutch being applied.
