Servicing - A/t: Other Ford Bronco V

Transmission

Vehicles used in normal service do not require regularly scheduled maintenance. Fluid level should be checked whenever underhood maintenance is performed or if leakage is detected. Adjust bands on C6 when quality of shifts deteriorates or improper band adjustment is indicated. On vehicles used for fleet service or those operated under severe conditions (such as police, taxi, or towing), replace fluid every 30,000 miles.

Transfer Case

Under normal driving conditions, replace transfer case fluid every 60,000 miles. Under heavy 4WD driving conditions, replace fluid more frequently.

1. With vehicle on level surface, operate vehicle until engine and transmission are at normal operating temperature. Apply parking brake. With engine idling, shift transmission through all gear ranges, ending in Park. WARNING: On 4WD models, ensure transfer case is in any gear range EXCEPT Neutral before checking transmission fluid level.
2. Check transmission fluid level. Fluid level should be between HOT marks, or within crosshatched area on dipstick. Add fluid through filler tube as needed. DO NOT overfill.

Remove filler plug. Fluid level should be even with bottom of filler plug hole. Add lubricant as needed.

All automatic transmissions use Motorcraft Mercon ATF (XT-2-QDX).

All transfer cases use Motorcraft Mercon ATF (XT-2-QDX).

1. Raise and support vehicle. Loosen oil pan bolts. Tap oil pan to break gasket seal. Drain fluid. Remove retaining bolts, oil pan, and gasket.
2. Remove retaining bolt (if equipped), oil filter/screen, and gasket. Install NEW gasket, oil filter/screen, and oil pan. Tighten retaining bolt to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
3. Add 5 quarts (4.7L) of ATF to transmission. Use Motorcraft Mercon ATF (XT-2-QDX).
4. Check fluid level. See CHECKING FLUID LEVEL under LUBRICATION. When filling transmission, refer to AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION REFILL CAPACITIES table. Recheck fluid level when transmission is at normal operating temperature. DO NOT overfill.

Raise and support vehicle. Remove drain plug. Drain fluid. Install drain plug. Remove filler plug. Refill transfer case to bottom of filler plug hole. See RECOMMENDED FLUID under LUBRICATION. When filling transfer case, refer to TRANSFER CASE REFILL CAPACITIES table. Install filler plug.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION BANDS

Note. C6 has only an intermediate band adjustment. (Scheme 49)

C6

Raise and support vehicle. Clean area around band adjuster screw. (Scheme 49) Remove and discard adjuster screw lock nut. Install NEW lock nut loosely. Tighten adjuster screw to 120 INCH lbs. (14 N.m). Back off adjuster screw exactly 1 1/2 turns. Hold adjuster screw in position and tighten NEW lock nut to 35-40 ft. lbs. (47-54 N.m).

THROTTLE VALVE (T.V.) CONTROL CABLE (AOD TRANSMISSION)

Note. T.V. control cable is locked to proper length during initial assembly. Control cable may require adjustment if throttle body, control cable, or transmission is replaced.

Scheme 50

1. Apply parking brake. Shift transmission to Neutral. DO NOT place transmission in Park. On F150/250 and Bronco models, remove cable linkage protective cover. On all models, ensure throttle lever is resting against idle stop. DO NOT adjust idle stop.
2. Ensure T.V. control cable is properly routed, free of sharp bends, and operates freely. Using small screwdriver, pry lock tab outward to release T.V. control cable at throttle body. (Scheme 50)
3. Install return spring on T.V. control lever at the transmission. Hook spring onto rear of transmission case. Ensure T.V. control lever is held in idle position (fully rearward toward rear of transmission). NOTE: If necessary, use 2 return springs to retain T.V. control lever in position.
4. With T.V. cable lock tab released and return spring in place, rotate T.V. control lever at transmission approximately 10-30 degrees and return slowly. Push lock tab downward on T.V. control cable at throttle body until lock tab is flush. Remove return spring.

GEARSHIFT LINKAGE

1. Apply parking brake. On models with C6 transmissions, set shift lever to "D" position. On other models, set shift lever to "OD" (overdrive) position.
2. On all models, hold shift lever against stop by hanging 3-lb. (1.4 kg) weight on lever. Loosen shift rod retaining nut. (Scheme 51)
3. Move manual lever on transmission fully rearward. Move manual lever forward to "D" position on C6 models, or "OD" (overdrive) position on other models.
4. With shift lever and manual lever on transmission in "D" or "OD" (overdrive) position, tighten retaining nut to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS. Remove weight from shift lever. Check for normal operation in all selected positions.

Scheme 51

GEARSHIFT CABLE

1. Apply parking brake. On models with C6 transmissions, set shift lever to "D" position. On remaining models, set shift lever to "OD" (overdrive) position.
2. On all models, raise and support vehicle. Disconnect shift cable from manual lever on transmission. Pull downward on lock tab on shift cable at transmission bracket.
3. Move manual lever on transmission fully forward. Move manual lever backward 4 detent positions to "D" position on C6 models, or "OD" (overdrive) position on other models.
4. Reconnect shift cable to manual lever on transmission. Push lock tab upward. Lower vehicle.
5. If shift indicator does not align with "D" position on C6 models, or "OD" (overdrive) position on other models, rotate thumb screw near shift indicator until properly aligned.

Note. If necessary, remove steering column covers to gain access to thumb screw for shift indicator adjustment. Ensure transmission operates in all gear ranges with correct transmission detent position.

AOD

Neutral safety switch is located on side of transmission case. It is nonadjustable. Use Socket (T74P-77247-A) when replacing neutral safety switch or switch will be damaged.

AODE-W/4R70W

Install Gear Position Adjuster (T91P-700100A) into slots in area of MLPS on left side of transmission. (Scheme 52) If slots on sensor do not align with slots on adjuster, loosen sensor mounting bolts and rotate sensor as required. Tighten mounting bolts to specifications. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.

Scheme 52

1. Ensure shift cable or linkage is properly adjusted. See GEARSHIFT CABLE or GEARSHIFT LINKAGE under ADJUSTMENTS. Apply parking brake. Set shift lever to Neutral position.
2. Loosen MLPS retaining screws. Install MLPS Aligner (T92P-70010-AH) in 3 slots on switch and actuator plate of MLPS. (Scheme 53) CAUTION: Ensure each leg of MLPS aligner engages with each slot of MLPS.
3. Tighten MLPS retaining screws to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS. Remove MLPS aligner.
4. Proper adjustment can be confirmed by ensuring etched line in actuator and housing are aligned when shift lever is in Neutral. Verify vehicle starts only in Park or Neutral, and back-up lights operate only in Reverse.

Scheme 53

E4OD

Remove shift linkage from transmission. Loosen MLPS retaining screws. Using MLPS Aligner (T89T-70010-J), align manual lever position sensor for Neutral gear. (Scheme 54) Tighten retaining bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS. Install shift linkage.

Scheme 54

FUEL INJECTION PUMP LEVER (FIPL) SENSOR (DIESEL ONLY)

Note. Checking and adjusting FIPL requires STAR Tester (007-00004) and Adapter Cable (007-00010).

Adjusting FIPL Sensor

1. Loosen FIPL sensor retaining screws. see scheme 13 Rotate FIPL sensor until steady tone is heard from Star tester. A steady tone indicates FIPL sensor is properly adjusted. CAUTION: FIPL sensor bracket is permanently attached to fuel injection pump with tamperproof screws. DO NOT loosen FIPL sensor bracket screws or move bracket to adjust FIPL sensor.
2. If FIPL sensor cannot be adjusted to obtain a steady tone, replace FIPL sensor and repeat adjustment procedure.
3. Remove gauge block. Open throttle to wide open position 5 times. Reinstall gauge block. Recheck FIPL sensor adjustment. Readjust if necessary. Remove gauge block. Connect throttle cable. Start engine. Check throttle and transmission shift operation.
