This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to change the dealer coding basic part number and condition code.
ISSUE:
Gear "whine" from the front planetary gear may occur at extended mileage. This is caused by a limited volume of lube to the front planetary due to
hydraulic control system demands in the lube flow circuit.
ACTION:
Install a new crossover rear lube tube and a new differential/speedo lube tube that will increase the volume of lube to the front planetary. Refer to the
1992 Taurus/Sable or Continental Service Manual, Section 07-01, for service details.
Rerouting excess fluid is no longer required with the deletion of the governor. The rear lube tube and the differential/speedo lube tube, Figure 1, have
been reversed in the transaxle case. This requires the rear lube tube to cross over the differential/speedo tube. This crossover will allow for a larger
volume of uninterrupted lube to the front planetary. This change has been incorporated in mid model year 1992 for all AXODE transaxles.
