    Technical Service Information

    FORD AX4N
    1994 - 1997 HARSH UPSHIFTS AND DOWNSHIFTS

    COMPLAINT: After overhaul, some Ford Motor Company vehicles 1994 - 1997 that are equipped with
    the AX4N Transaxle may exhibit a high Mainline and EPC pressure condition, along
    with No Trouble Codes.

    CAUSE: One possible cause may be, that during the overhaul procedure the 1998 & up Pump
    Plate to Valve Body Gasket may have been installed on a 1994 - 1997 Valve Body. When
    this happens, an opening between the Solenoid Feed circuit and the EPC circuit will
    allow Solenoid Feed oil to go over a worm track and enter the EPC circuit at the end of
    the Pressure Failsafe Valve as shown in Figure 1. This additional oil entering the EPC
    circuit will increase the amount of pressure in the circuit causing increased movement of
    the Pressure Failsafe Valve, which allows an increase of EPC pressure to enter the TV
    Boost Valve assembly, thus increasing the Mainline pressure. See Figure 2 for a partial
    hydraulic schematic. Note: Typically when the 1998 - up gasket is installed, the gauge
    reading has shown to be 100 - 110 psi. engine idling, and the shift selector in the OD
    position.

    CORRECTION: Ensure that the correct Pump Plate to Valve body gasket is being used. For reference,
    Figure 3 shows the 1994 - 1997 Pump Plate to Valve Body gasket and the 1994 - 1997
    Valve Body casting. Figure 4 shows the 1998 and up Pump Plate to Valve body gasket
    and the 1998 and up Valve Body casting.
