TRANSMISSION - AUTOMATIC - ATX - CONVERTER ONE-WAY CLUTCH "HOLDING" TOOL MODIFICATION
FORD 1985-86 ESCORT, EXP
LINCOLN-MERCURY 1985-86 LYNX
Design changes to the ATX converter one-way clutch thrust washer have caused the existing "holding" tool (T81P-7902-A) to not work with the above
ATX applications. This tool, however, must be retained to service 1984-86 Tempo/Topaz as well as 1984 and prior Escort/Lynx, EXP/LN7 ATX
applications.
An existing "holding" tool (T77L-7902-A) can be reworked (Figure 16) to use on 1985 Escort/Lynx and EXP applications. The rework of this tool will
not affect its use for its original transmission applications (i.e. C3, C4, C5, C6 AOD and AXOD).

The tool can also be fabricated, as noted in the illustration, from standard bar stock. A new "holding" tool will be made available through the essential
tool catalog.
