Car Forum / Ford / Ford Cars / November 2004ID Taurus transaxel?
Have a 99 Taurus. Evidently Ford uses 2 transaxel types on this car, AX4N or AX4S for the 3.0 engines. The type transaxel is supposed to be on a tag over the bell housing but on mine it has decomposed in engine oil. My book says the TransAx ID is also on the "Main valve cover where it bolts to the unit". How do I know which one I've got? ID Taurus transaxel?

How do I know which one I've got? It is stamped into the pan. AX4N: speaks for itself. AXOD or AX4S: it is the AX4S. Rob Precicely. CJB >> Have a 99 Taurus.

Well it really is a "valve cover" kinda, they are talking about the side cover on the trans. If you take that cover off you find the *valve* body. :) Ive always called it the "side cover". I guess you could call it the "valve body cover" if you really wanted to. The trans pan is on the bottom covering the filter, although the side cover is a pan too, maybe we should call it the valve body pan? :) Scott M opined >> Stupid writers!
