NOTICE: The use of any fluid other than what is recommended for this transmission will cause transmission damage. Draining 1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to Section 100-02. 2. Remove the transmission fluid drain plug and allow the transmission fluid to drain. Refill 3. Install the transmission fluid drain plug. Tighten to 47 Nm (35 lb-ft). 4. Remove the transmission fluid fill plug. 5. Fill the transaxle with approximately 3.7L (4 qt) of clean transmission fluid. 6. Install the transmission fluid fill plug. Tighten to 39 Nm (29 lb-ft). 7. With the transaxle in (P) PARK, the vehicle should be on a level surface, the engine at idle (680-780 rpm), foot pressed on the brake, move the selector lever through each gear and allow engagement of each gear. Place the selector lever back in the PARK position. 8. Wipe the transmission fluid level indicator cap and remove the fluid level indicator. 9. Wipe the transmission fluid level indicator with a clean cloth. 10. NOTE: In order to get an accurate transmission fluid level reading, the vehicle should be on a level surface, the engine at idle (680-780 rpm) for 5 minutes and the transmission fluid temperature should be at least 70°C-80° (158° C F-176° using the scan tool. F) If transmission fluid needs to be added, add transmission fluid in 0.25L (1/2 pint) increments through the transmission fluid fill plug located on the top of the transaxle near the transmission fluid level indicator. Do not overfill the transmission fluid. Install the transmission fluid level indicator back in the transmission fluid filler tube until it is fully seated, then remove the indicator. The transmission fluid level should be at the upper-most mark on the transmission fluid level indicator. Only fill to the upper-most mark on the transmission fluid indicator. Do not overfill. Damage to the transaxle will occur.

1994-1997 Ford Probe, Mazda MX3 with 4 cyl. & A/T 1994-2000 Mazda 626 with 4 cyl. & A/T 1998-2000 Mazda 626 with 6 cyl. & A/T 1995-2000 Ford Contour/Mercury Mystique with 6 cyl. & A/T 1999-2001 Mercury Cougar with A/T SUBJECT Vehicles with the Ford CD4E automatic transmission. CONDITION The driver’s side front CV axle has a 6-½ inch male inboard stub that fits into the transmission’s side gear. On the stub next to the housing seal surface is a carrier support surface that fits into the final drive sun gear inside the transmission (see figure 1). This sprocket assembly is chain driven with the reverse/overdrive sprocket by the planetary gear sets (see figure 2). The final drive sprocket assembly rides on the axle stub carrier support surface using a pressed, center bored bushing. This bushing wears the carrier support surface causing damage to the axle and eventually the transmission. SOLUTION If the carrier support surface of the axle being replaced appears rough and worn, then several possible failures need to be checked before replacing the axle or premature failure of the axle or possible damage to the transmission could occur. If the transmission’s internal oiling solenoid that lubricates this bushing fails, then the 2nd and 3rd gearshifts will not function. Although the Aftermarket lists this bushing, no tool exists to replace it. Ford only offer the bushing in a complete sprocket assembly making its replacement a very costly repair. The most common contributor to premature wear of this bushing is the vehicle not being within proper alignment specs. Without a four-wheel alignment, even though the front wheels may be centered to the rack, the rear thrust is pushing the front wheels causing stress on the front CV joints. The thrust forces acting on the front wheels while driving changes ALL the alignment specs resulting in the front wheels being in a constant turning action. This will wear the side gears and transmission seals as well as stressing this bushing. Another possible sign that alignment is affecting these items is a worn or torn inboard boot. Do not forget that worn motor mounts will also affect alignment thrust forces.

WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE TORQUE CONVERTER OR TRANSFER CASE FROM THE TRANSMISSION WHILE STILL ON JACK. DOING SO COULD CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION TO FALL OFF THE JACK. For disassembly, relocate the transmission to the top of a flat work bench. WARNING: THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS HEAVY, ESPECIALLY WHEN FULL OF OIL. 1. Remove torque converter (7902) . 2. Remove input shaft (7017) . The splines on the input shaft are not the same on both ends. The end with the shorter spline goes into the assembly. NOTE: For transfer case disassembly and assembly see Section 07-07A, Section 07-07B and Section 07-07C. 3. If the vehicle has a transfer case (7A195) , use a 13mm socket to remove five bolts holding the transfer case to the extension housing (7A039) . Remove transfer case and set aside for reassembly. NOTE: The case oil pressure plug is a press fit into the extension housing and is not serviced separately. CAUTION: The parking pawl (7A441) , parking pawl return spring (7D070) , and parking pawl shaft (7D071) could fall out during removal of the extension housing . 4. Remove the extension housing seal using Front Seal Remover T74P-77248-A. NOTE: Remove extension housing bushing (7A034) only if service is required by inspection. 5. Remove the extension housing bushing using Extension Housing Bushing Remover T77L-7697-E. 6. Use 17mm socket to remove four M10 x 30mm screws (E800152-S72) and two studs (E800137-S72) holding the extension housing to the transmission case (7005) . 7. Remove the parking pawl , parking pawl return spring , and parking pawl shaft . 8. Use a 10mm socket to remove two M6 x 20mm screws holding governor to collector body. Remove the governor body, governor primary valve (7C054) , governor valve spring (7A302) , and governor weight (7D324) . The governor body counter weight (7F124) need not be removed.

FORD: 2010 Fusion 2009-2010 Escape ISSUE Some 2009-2010 Escape, Mariner, 2010 Fusion and Milan vehicles equipped with a 6F35 automatic transmission, may experience transmission shift concerns after towing the vehicle with all 4 wheels on the ground (Flat tow) such as behind a motor home or a truck. The transmission shift concern may be caused by heat build up in the transmission due to the transmission fluid level being too high, towing speeds above 65 MPH (105 Km/h) and/or not stopping to run the engine at idle for 5 minutes every six hours or less, to cool the transmission. MERCURY: 2010 Milan 2009-2010 Mariner SERVICE PROCEDURE There are specific instructions listed in the Owner Guide that must be followed to recreational tow/flat tow/tow a vehicle with all 4 tires on the ground. Advise customers of the following expanded recreational towing guidelines. 1. Transmission fluid level must be checked at operating temperature of 185 °F – 200 °F (85 °C – 93 °C), per Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 307-01. At this temperature, adjust fluid level between minimum line and the minimum hole at the bottom of the hash marks on dipstick. This level is within the safe operating fluid level and does not require the customer to have the fluid level readjusted after flat tow operation. (Figure 1) 2. Maximum towing speed is 65 MPH (105 Km/h). 3. Do not flat tow the vehicle for greater than 6 hours at a time. 4. Start and run the engine for: a. 5 minutes before towing each day b. 5 minutes every 6 hours or less. c. While running the engine at idle for 5 minutes, with foot on the brake, shift through all gears. These guidelines are designed to prevent damage to the transmission due to overheating. If setting the fluid level for a customer that will be recreational (flat) towing the vehicle, set the level between minimum line and the minimum hole at the bottom of the hash marks on dipstick (Figure 1) per WSM Section 307-01.
