The AXOD automatic transaxle is identified by the code letter T which is shown on the Vehicle Certification
Label under "TR". The label is located on driver's door lock panel or door pillar.
The transaxle also has an identification tag attached to the top of the converter housing. Use this information
when servicing transaxle. See Fig. 1 .

DESCRIPTION
The AXOD (Automatic Overdrive Transaxle) combines an automatic transaxle and differential into a single unit
designed for front wheel drive vehicles. The transaxle is a fully automatic unit with 4 forward speeds, one
reverse, neutral and park.

The AXOD has 2 planetary gear sets and a combination planetary/differential gear set. Four multiple plate
clutches, 2 band assemblies, and 2 roller (one-way) clutches act as friction elements for proper operation of the
planetary gear sets.
A lock-up torque converter couples the engine output to the planetary gears and overdrive unit. This is done by
a chain which connects the drive and driven sprockets. The converter lock-up is controlled through the EEC-IV
system. A piston plate clutch, inside converter, is activated by the computer and valve body.
The converter clutch applies at approximately 27 MPH in 3rd gear and approximately 35 MPH in 4th gear
(Overdrive). It cannot apply in 1st or 2nd gear. Engagement is prevented when coolant temperature is below 75°
F (24°C), barometric pressure is below 20 in. Hg during 4-3 downshifts, during 2-3 upshifts, or when service
brakes are applied.
LUBRICATION & ADJUSTMENTS

TESTING
ROAD TEST
This test will verify that the governor pressure and shift control valves are operating properly.
1. Bring engine and transaxle up to normal operating temperature. Place transaxle in Overdrive. Check
upshifts at minimum throttle. Note upshift speeds and speed at which converter clutch applies. Refer to
appropriateSHIFT SPEEDS table in this article.
2. Place transaxle in Drive and repeat Step 1). Transaxle should make all upshifts except 3-4 and converter
clutch should apply above 27 MPH.
3. Leave transaxle in Drive and depress accelerator to floor (WOT). Transaxle should shift from 3rd to 2nd,
or 3rd to 1st, depending on vehicle speed. Converter clutch should also release.
NOTE: With transaxle in Overdrive, a 4-3 WOT downshift can be obtained

regardless of vehicle speed.
4. With vehicle speed above 30 MPH, shift transaxle from Drive to Low and decelerate. Transaxle should
immediately downshift to 2nd gear. When vehicle speed drops below 20 MPH, transaxle should
downshift into 1st gear.
IN-SHOP TEST
The governor circuit, shift delay pressures and throttle boost can be checked during this test.
CAUTION: DO NOT exceed 60 MPH indicated speedometer speed.
1. Raise vehicle drive wheels off floor. To check shift valves and governor circuit, place transaxle in
Overdrive and apply minimum throttle. Note upshift speeds and speeds at which the converter clutch
locks up.
2. Transaxle should shift in the following order: 1-2, 2-3, Converter lock-up and 3-4 (O/D). Converter will
remain locked when in overdrive. To check downshift valve operation, disconnect throttle valve linkage
from throttle lever and pull out to maximum travel. DO NOT crimp or kink cable.
3. Place transaxle in Drive and apply minimum throttle pressure. Observe speed at which 1-2 upshift occurs.
If not within specifications, see GOVERNOR under AIR PRESSURE TESTS. If shift speeds are too
1990 Ford Taurus GL
low, the shift modulator valves may be faulty.

way clutch, reverse clutch, low-intermediate band and engine performance.
NOTE: After each test, shift transaxle into Neutral and run engine for at least 15
seconds to cool converter.
Apply service and parking brakes. Connect tachometer to engine, and record RPM reached in each range at
WOT (Wide Open Throttle).
1990 Ford Taurus GL

STALL TEST RESULTS
Stall Speed Too High
In Overdrive, Drive, 1st and Reverse, general transaxle problems are indicated and a control pressure test
should be made to locate faulty unit(s).
In Overdrive, Drive or 1st, forward clutch, low-intermediate clutch, or low-intermediate band slippage is
indicated. The low-intermediate servo may also be malfunctioning.
In Reverse, the forward clutch, low-intermediate clutch or reverse clutch may be slipping.
Stall Speed Too Low
Converter reactor one-way clutch is slipping or engine performance is faulty.

Fig. 6: Air Pressure Test Plate Locations

AIR PRESSURE TESTS
1. A "No Drive" condition can exist even with correct transaxle fluid pressure because of inoperative
clutches or bands. A "No Drive" condition in a forward gear range may be caused by an inoperative
forward clutch, low-intermediate one-way clutch or low-intermediate band.
2. No manual low (1st), coast could be caused by a faulty direct clutch or direct one-way clutch.
1990 Ford Taurus GL
3. Reverse failure may be caused by a malfunctioning reverse clutch, forward clutch or low-intermediate
one-way clutch.
4. To perform air pressure tests, drain transaxle fluid and remove oil pan. Remove valve body cover, and oil
pump and valve body assembly. Install Air Pressure Test Plate (T86P-7006-B) with valve body assembly-
to-chain cover gasket. See Fig. 6 .
Forward Clutch
Apply air pressure to forward clutch test port. A dull thud can be heard, or movement of piston felt when clutch
piston is applied. If clutch seal(s) are leaking, a hissing sound will be heard.
Governor
Apply air pressure to governor test port and listen for a sharp clicking or whistling noise. The noise indicates
proper governor movement.
Overdrive Servo
Apply air pressure to overdrive servo test port. Operation of servo is indicated by the tightening of overdrive
band around overdrive drum. Because of the cushioning effect of the servo release spring, this may not be heard
or felt. The servo should hold air pressure and a dull thud should be heard when air pressure is released.
Direct Clutch
Apply air pressure to direct clutch test port. A dull thud can be heard, or movement of piston felt on case as
piston is applied. If clutch seal(s) are leaking, a hissing sound will be heard.
Intermediate Clutch
Apply air pressure to intermediate clutch test port. A dull thud can be heard, or movement of piston felt on case
as piston is applied. If clutch seal(s) are leaking, a hissing sound will be heard.
NOTE: If air pressure fails to operate a clutch, or operates clutches simultaneously,

remove and check fluid passages in the clutches, chain cover and driven
sprocket support.
Low-Intermediate Servo
Apply air pressure at low-intermediate servo apply test port. The low-intermediate band should tighten around
sun gear of rear planetary gear set. Because of the cushioning effect of the servo release spring, this may not be
heard or felt. The servo should hold air pressure and a dull thud should be heard when air pressure is removed.
Apply air pressure to low-intermediate servo release test port while continuing to pressurize the apply port.
Servo piston should return to the release position. The band should loosen and a dull thud should be heard.
Release the apply test port. The release test port should hold air pressure. Any leakage or failure of piston
movement requires servo service.
1990 Ford Taurus GL
Lube & Rear Lube
Apply air pressure to lube and rear lube test ports. These passages can only be checked for blockage. If either
passage holds air pressure, remove test plate and check for damage or an obstruction.
NOTE: If air pressure applied to the accumulator passages fails to operate an

accumulator, remove and check fluid passages in the accumulator and chain
cover.
1-2, 3-4 & N-D Accumulators
Apply air pressure to each accumulator test port. Accumulator should apply. Because of the cushioning effect of
the release spring, this may not be heard or felt. The accumulator should hold air pressure without leaking and a
dull thud should be heard when air pressure is removed.
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

See appropriate TRANSMISSION REMOVAL & INSTALLATION - A/T article in AUTOMATIC TRANS
SERVICE section.
