Shift Solenoids

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Mercury Villager. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The shift solenoid assembly is located on the main control valve body and contains five solenoids used to control transaxle functions. Shift solenoids A and B control valves in the main control valve body that control various up and down shifts. The coasting clutch solenoid controls operation of the coasting clutch, which provides engine braking when O/D is turned off.
