MAIN CONTROL CHECK BALL LOCATIONS
FORD:
1989 ESCORT
ISSUE:
The number of main control check balls and their locations for the ATX transaxle as published in the 1989 Tempo/ Topaz-Escort Car Shop
Manual, Section 17-25-82 is incorrect. The correct number of main control check balls for the 1.9L ATX transaxle is seven (7) not six (6).
Failure to install the seventh check ball will cause a harsh 2-3 upshift.
FIGURE 1
ACTION:
When servicing the ATX transaxle main control make sure that all seven
(7)
check balls are installed. Refer to Figure 1 for the correct location of the main control check balls.
