Intermediate (2, 6) Clutch
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mercury Sable, 2008 Ford Taurus X, and 2008 Ford Taurus. 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 sun and shell assembly. The intermediate clutch is applied in 2nd and 6th gear.
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 rear planetary sun gear is held stationary to the transaxle case as a result of the clutch being applied.
