NOTE!!! SOMETHING ELSE TO CHECK!

I am very thankful for this string. I was working 200 miles from home, pulling a trailer, when I started having the symptoms.. rather severely. I called my neighborhood tranny shop ... and was told I'd likely not make it home.

I ditched the trailer and carefully drove back home ... trying to avoid any unnessary stops.

I remembered/looked-up this string and others concerning the "low to intermediate servo". I gathered the seals and gasket and began work. That's when I had a real stroke of luck.

I was using a metal pan to catch the expected pint of fluid as the servo was removed. I heard a faint "clink" in the pan. I notice what looked like a small piece of circlip. A finger inside the tranny case found the rest of the circlip ... it was broken into three pieces.

I took a closer look a the piston assembly ... one circlip was still in place, but a groove in the piston rod showed the location of the second broken/missing circlip. I would have never realized there was a missing part had that small piece not fallen in the pan.

Anyway, there's probably not a chance in a million that you will have circlip issues on your servo. But just in case you do, ....you might want to buy a couple of #N804195-S2 ("rings" Ford calls 'em) as you pick up your other parts.

My repair, complete with new seals and gasket, seems to be OK. Thanks to "OldFaithful" and others who have contributed so much info on this subject ... probably saved me $1500 - $2000.
