Band - Intermediate

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

For component location, refer to DISASSEMBLED VIEWS in this section.

During third gear operation, hydraulic pressure is applied to the intermediate servo.

This pressure causes the servo to move and apply force to the intermediate band.
This action causes the direct clutch drum to be held.
The intermediate band holds the intermediate brake and direct clutch drum to the case in 3rd gear.
This causes the input shell and forward sun gear to be held stationary.
