DESCRIPTION Some vehicles may experience a body vibration when driving approximately 55mph. This symptom is due to the characteristics of the No. 3 & No. 4 engine mounts. Modified No. 3 & No. 4 engine mounts have been established for service only. Customers having this concern should have their vehicle repaired using the following repair procedure. REPAIR PROCEDURE IMPORTANT NOTE: • This repair should only be performed if all tires and rims are confirmed to be in balance and all suspension components are in proper working condition. • Notify customers that use of the modified mounts will reduce vibration at cruising speed but may increase vibration at idle. NOTE: Because idle vibration may increase, it is highly recommended to continue using mass production mounts for all other service concerns. 1. Verify concern. 2. Replace the No. 3 & 4 engine mounts with service parts according to the appropriate Workshop Manual section 01-10 ENGINE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION. 3. Center the new engine mounts as outlined in ENGINE MOUNT CENTERING PROCEDURE. 4. Verify repair. ENGINE MOUNT CENTERING PROCEDURE No. 1, No. 3 and No. 4 Engine Mount Adjustment 1. Warm up the engine. 2. Raise and support vehicle on a hoist. 3. Remove engine under cover. 4. Lower the vehicle until the front tires lightly touch the ground. 5. Secure the engine and transaxle using an engine jack and attachment as instructed in No.3 Engine Mount And No.4 Engine Mount Rubber Installation Note in appropriate Workshop Manual, section 01-10 MECHANICAL. 6. Remove two bolts from No. 3 engine mount bracket. REMOVE THE BOLTS 7. Lift engine using jack until No.3 engine mount is lifted slightly from vehicle body. NOTE: • Do not raise engine too much or A/C pipe damage may occur. 8. Move the engine mount rubber or engine until installation hole on the vehicle body aligns with hole in the engine mount bracket. ENGINE MOUNT BRACKET 1532c SHOWN BEFORE ALIGNING THE HOLES SHOWN AFTER ALIGNING THE HOLES 9. Lower the jack and tighten bolts on No. 3 engine mount bracket.

CAUTION: The maximum amount by which the engine management system will adjust the camshaft timing (VCT control unit) is limited to 2 degrees. As a result of this an extremely high degree of accuracy is required for any work which affects the valve timing. NOTE: Steps which only apply to certain model variants and therefore do not apply to all vehicles are clearly marked. NOTE: The positions of the engine mountings and engine support insulators are described looking from the transaxle towards the engine. 1. Disconnect the battery ground cable. For additional information, refer to Section 414-01. 2. Loosen the front right-hand wheel nuts. 3. Raise and support the vehicle. For additional information, refer to Section 100-02. 4. Remove the front right-hand wheel. 5. Lower the vehicle. 6. Remove the air cleaner resonator and air cleaner outlet pipe. 1. Disconnect the mass air flow (MAF) sensor electrical connector. 2. Disconnect the intake air temperature (IAT) electrical sensor. 3. Remove the one bolt and two nuts. 4. Release the retaining clips. 7. Disconnect the speed control cable. 1. Disconnect the cable from throttle valve. 2. Gently move the cable up and down and pull it out of the retaining bushing. 3. Press the retaining bushing out of the bracket. 8. Disconnect the throttle cable. 1. Remove the plastic clip. 2. Unhook the cable. 9. Remove the timing belt. For additional information, refer to Timing belt in this section. 10. Remove the camshaft pulleys. 1. Remove the blanking plug from the exhaust camshaft pulley. 2. Remove the exhaust camshaft pulley. 3. NOTE: Hold the camshaft by the hexagon with an open-ended wrench to stop it from turning. Remove the intake camshaft timing belt pulley. 11. Remove the bolts from the variable camshaft timing (VCT) oil feed flange. 12. NOTE: Working evenly in several stages, unscrew each bolt two turns at a time. NOTE: Loosen the bearing caps in the indicated sequence. Loosen the camshaft bearing caps. 13. NOTE: Loosening sequence. Remove the camshafts. 1. Remove the camshaft bearing caps. Remove the camshaft seals. 3. Remove the intake camshaft. 4. Remove the exhaust camshaft with the oil feed flange. Installation 1. NOTE: Use a thumb to press the locating pins of the gasket into the holes. Press a new gasket into the oil feed flange. 2. Prepare the exhaust camshaft for installation. 1. Insert the oil feed ring into the oil feed flange. 2. Slide both components together onto the exhaust camshaft.

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.

1. WARNING: Brake fluid contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. If brake fluid contacts eyes, flush eyes with running water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation persists. If taken internally, drink water and induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately. CAUTION: Brake fluid is harmful to painted or plastic surfaces. If the brake fluid is spilled onto a painted or plastic surface, wash it immediately with water. NOTE: Make sure of absolute cleanliness when filling the brake fluid reservoir. NOTE: Do not re-use brake fluid. Fill the brake fluid reservoir with High Performance DOT3 Motor Vehicle Brake Fluid C6AZ-19542-AB or equivalent meeting Ford specifcation ESA-M6C25-A, DOT3. 2. Raise and support the vehicle. For additional information, refer toSection 100-02. 3. Remove the dust cover. 4. Remove the bleed nipple cover. 5. Bleed the clutch system. Attach a proprietary bleed jar to the bleed nipple and open the bleed nipple one turn. Depress the clutch pedal repeatedly until the emerging fluid is free of bubbles; always make sure that there is sufficient fluid (5 mm [0.2 in] above the MAX) in the reservoir. After bleeding, tighten the bleed nipple. Install the bleed nipple cover. Install the dust cover. After bleeding, lower the vehicl and depress the clutch 10 times and check that it is functioning correctly. 6. NOTE: Make sure of absolute cleanliness when filling the brake fluid reservoir. Check the brake fluid level. The fluid level should be between the MIN and MAX marks. If the level drops below the MIN mark, the brake warning indicator will light up. As necessary, fill the brake fluid reservoir with High Performance DOT3 Motor Vehicle Brake Fluid C6AZ-19542-AB or equivalent meeting Ford specifcation ESA-M6C25-A, DOT3.
