Customer concerns of harsh shifting with AXODequipped Taurus/Sable vehicles may relate to normal operating characteristics. A 3-1 downshift coast
bump and a harsh 3-1 torque demand shift are representative of the 1986 powertrain calibration. These characteristics cannot be changed by adjusting
TV linkage. Shift firmness or softness does not affect AXOD durability.
