TRANSAXLE REPLACEMENT OR TRANSAXLE OVERHAUL
In most instances, the previous actions will resolve customer concerns. If these actions do not resolve the concern, transaxle replacement or transaxle
overhaul will be required.
1.
Obtaining an exchange or remanufactured replacement transaxle is recommended as an alternative to overhauling the transaxle.
2.
If the transaxle is overhauled, replace the intermediate clutch piston (F3FZ-7E005-A) and the pump assembly (F23Z-7A103-A). On all 1987
through 1991 vehicles, due to the new design of the pump, the selective fit thrust washer with three tabs (7D014) and the thrust bearing (7F374)
must be discarded and replaced with a select fit bearing and washer assembly (F23Z-7D014-A/B/C/D).
