Ford Mustang (1999-2004) Service Manual: Apply Components
There are eight apply components used to drive or hold the planetary gearset components.
Band-Overdrive
1. The overdrive band holds the reverse clutch drum stationary in fourth gear and manual
2. This action causes the reverse sun gear to be held in these ranges.
Band-Low and Reverse
The low and reverse band holds the pinion carrier in reverse. The reverse band also applies in manual 1 position to provide engine braking.
Clutch-Intermediate
Intermediate Clutch Disassembled View
The intermediate clutch works with the intermediate one-way clutch to hold the reverse sun gear stationary in second gear. The intermediate clutch remains applied in third and fourth gears, but does not transmit power.
Clutch-Forward
The direct clutch couples the input shaft to the planet carrier through the stub shaft in third and fourth gears.
Clutch-Reverse
The reverse clutch couples the input shaft to the reverse sun gear, applied in reverse range only.
One-Way Clutch-Planetary (Low)
The planetary (low) one-way clutch is a roller clutch that holds the planetary gearset in first gear, (D) and D ranges. During automatic coasting downshifts into first gear ((D) and D ranges), the planetary one-way clutch freewheels so there is no engine braking.
One-Way Clutch-Intermediate
The intermediate one-way clutch works with the intermediate friction clutch to hold the reverse clutch drum and reverse sun gear stationary in second gear during acceleration. The intermediate one-way clutch freewheels in third gear and during coasting in second gear, (D) and D ranges.
Geartrain
Power is transmitted from the torque converter to the Ravigneaux
geartrain components through the
input shaft and forward clutch cylinder.
The geartrain contains a Ravigneaux planetary set ...
Hydraulic System
Fluid Pump
The transmission uses a gerotor-type design front pump support and gear. The
pump provides the
volume of fluid needed to charge the torque converter, main control asse ...

Summer tires (if equipped)
Summer tires provide superior performance on wet and dry roads. Summer
tires do not have the Mud and Snow (M+S or M/S) tire traction rating on the
tire side wall. Since summer tires do not have the same traction performance
as All-season or Snow tires, Ford do ...
Spark Plug - Inspection
1. Inspect the spark plug for a bridged gap.
Check for deposit build-up closing the gap between the electrodes.
Deposits are caused
by oil or carbon fouling.
Clean the spark plug.
2. Check for oil fouling.
Check for wet, black deposits on th ...
Flexplate
Removal and Installation
1. Remove the transmission. For additional information, refer to Section.
2. Remove the six bolts retaining the flexplate to crankshaft, and remove the
flexplate.
3. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
Tighten the bolts in ...
