Item 67: Overdrive Intermediate Band Disassembly Note

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mercury Mountaineer and 2004 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    CAUTION: Identify the anchor and apply ends of the intermediate band.
    NOTE: The new intermediate band is dark in color. This is a normal condition of the band. Hairline cracks in the band are also considered normal. Do not install a new band based solely on the color.
