INTERMEDIATE "DIODE" FREEWHEEL FAILURE
COMPLAINT: Some Ford Motor Company vehicles equipped with the 4R100 transmission may exhibit
premature failure of the newly introduced Intermediate "Diode" Freewheel device that was
installed in model year 2001 and illustrated in Figure 1.
CAUSE: The cause may be, more than expected load factors.
CORRECTION: The Intermediate "Diode" is no longer serviced by Ford Motor Company. The part number
now supercedes to all of the previous design level parts, which include the direct clutch
housing, intermediate sprag assembly, outer race to direct drum thrust washer, and the
intermediate friction plates. All of the previous design level parts are illustrated in Figure 2,
along with the OEM part numbers. The intermediate frictions must be replaced because the
tooth count on the outer race between the diode and the sprag are different.
Special Note: ATSG recommends replacing the Intermediate "Diode" during service,
even if it has not yet failed, to protect yourself from possible future failures.
