76811-01K - Sonnax® Ford Lincoln Mercury AOD Direct Drive Shaft Spiral Snap Ring 1980-1993

Sonnax® Direct Drive Shaft Spiral Snap Ring

AOD 

Ford Lincoln Mercury 1980-1993

In vehicles with a Ford AOD transmission, the direct drum splines can wear, causing the direct drumshaft to contact the output shaft and shut off lube flow. The late shaft design allows Sonnax® retaining ring 76811-01K to fit into the OE groove. The early shaft design requires a groove to be machined to accept the retaining ring. The shaft has been depth hardened sufficiently from OE to ensure strength after machining.

Prevents lube flow shut-off

Salvages drums with worn splines

Note

Restricted lube flow

Cause:

Spline wear causes the direct drum shaft to contact the output shaft and shut off lube flow.

Correction:

Sonnax® retaining ring fit prevents the direct drum shaft from moving backward and contacting the output shaft and shutting off lube flow.
