AXOD AXODE (AX4S) “UPDATE HANDBOOK” – ATSG

Other Transmission

Since the introduction of the Ford AXOD transaxle in model year 1986, there have been many major engineering design changes that have affected many of the parts used in the AXOD transaxle. This version of the AXOD “Update Handbook” begins with the 1986 model year and will explain each change, the parts affected by the change, and any parts interchange problems created by the change. This booklet is an updated version of the original.

This updated version of the AXOD “Update Handbook” will also cover the changes that occured in the 1991 model year, when electronic controls were adapted to the AXOD transaxle, making it an AXODE, and now called an AX4S transaxle. We have included the changes on the AX4S transaxle up through and including model year 2002.
