Intermediate Clutch (C)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Lincoln Navigator and 2017 Ford Expedition. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The intermediate clutch (C) holds the rear planetary No. 2 sun gear stationary to the transmission case. The intermediate clutch (C) is applied in 2nd and 6th gears.

Regulated hydraulic pressure from the regulator valve in the valve body pushes the intermediate clutch (C) piston against the intermediate clutch (C) pack to apply the clutch.
