TRANSAXLE - ATX - NO REVERSE IN EXTREME COLD CONDITIONS - SERVICE TIP

FORD:
1987-94 TEMPO

LINCOLN-MERCURY:
1987-94 TOPAZ

ISSUE:
Some vehicles may exhibit the lack of reverse in extreme cold conditions. This could be caused by the inner and outer reverse clutch piston seals adhering to the adjacent surfaces and separating when the piston moves.

ACTION:
Replace the inner and outer reverse clutch piston seals with the revised material seals if service to the transaxle is required.

The revised seals are identified with an axial white stripe on the inside diameter. Verify gasket and seal kit contain the white stripe on the inner diameter of the reverse clutch seals. If the kit does not contain the newer seals, discard the seals and obtain the revised seals.
