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.
