Manual Control Lever Shaft Seal: Removal
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Lincoln MKX and 2010 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to JACKING AND LIFTING .
- Disconnect the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor electrical connector and the wiring harness fastener from the Air Cleaner (ACL) assembly.
- Disconnect the brake booster vacuum hose from the ACL outlet pipe.
- Disconnect the engine breather from the ACL assembly.
- Remove the ACL assembly bracket bolt.
- Loosen the ACL outlet pipe clamp at the Throttle Body (TB) and remove the ACL and ACL outlet pipe assembly.
- Remove the transmission fluid drain plug and allow the transmission fluid to drain.
- Install the transmission fluid drain plug.
- Tighten to 9 Nm (80 lb-in).
- Disconnect the selector lever cable end from the manual control lever.
- Remove the nut and the manual control lever.
- Loosen the transmission fluid cooler tube fitting from the thermal bypass valve.
- Remove and discard the transmission fluid cooler tube bolt and remove the transmission fluid cooler tube.
- Inspect the transaxle case to make sure that the transmission fluid cooler tube seal and backing ring were removed with the transmission fluid cooler tube and are not stuck in the transaxle case. If the transmission fluid cooler tube seal or backing ring are stuck in the transaxle case, remove the seal and backing ring.
- Disconnect the transaxle electrical connector.
- Remove the transmission fluid cooler tube bracket nuts, pull the transmission fluid cooler thermal bypass valve straight up and position it aside.
- Remove the bolts and the main control cover.
- Disconnect the Transmission Range (TR) sensor electrical connector.
- Slide the lock over.
- Press the tab and disconnect the connector.
- Disconnect the Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) and Output Shaft Speed (OSS) sensor electrical connectors.
- Remove the bolts and the solenoid body.
- Remove the solenoid body filter assembly by pulling it straight up from the alignment tabs. Discard the filter.
- Remove the bolts, the TR sensor detent spring and the main control valve body.
- Using a suitable tool, remove and discard the TR sensor locking pin.
- Make sure that the park pawl actuator rod does not become disengaged from the park pawl and the abutment by keeping the end of the park pawl actuator rod behind the machined valve body mating surface of the transaxle case. If the park pawl actuator rod becomes disengaged from the park pawl and the abutment, transaxle removal and disassembly is required to reinstall the actuator rod.
- Remove the TR
sensor.
- Slide the TR sensor down until the manual shaft is out of the transaxle case.
- Rotate the TR sensor detent plate counterclockwise, as viewed from below until the plate rests against the transaxle case, remove the park pawl actuating rod from the TR sensor and remove the TR sensor.
- Using a suitable tool, remove the manual control lever shaft seal.
NOTE:
Note the location of the studbolts for assembly.
NOTE:
The solenoid body should be handled with care, damage to the solenoid body may occur.
NOTE:
Note the location of the different length bolts for assembly.
NOTE:
Do not handle the solenoid body in the leadframe area or by the screens of the solenoid body filter or damage to the solenoid body can occur.
NOTE:
Use care not to break the alignment tabs when removing the solenoid body filter.
NOTE:
TR
sensor removed for clarity.
NOTE:
Make sure that the park pawl actuator rod does not become disengaged from the park pawl and the abutment or the park pawl will not lock the output shaft and transaxle removal and disassembly will be required to reinstall the actuator rod.
