A/T - AOD No End Play/Overdrive Band Burned

TSB 87-5 (Jan)

SUBJECT: FORD AOD

PROBLEM:
No end-play and/or overdrive band burned.

CAUSE:
If the problem exists no matter which selective thrust washer is used, it may be the overdrive band anchor pin binding the overdrive band against the reverse clutch drum.

During assembly, it may not appear that the band is binding against the reverse clutch drum. When the pump is installed, it may move the reverse clutch drum to center it, and that's when the reverse clutch drum and the overdrive band will bind.




SOLUTION:
Knock the overdrive anchor pin outward until it is no longer binding the overdrive band against the reverse clutch drum. Be careful; do not tap the anchor pin out too far! Put sealant on the anchor pin where it extends to the outside of the case.
