This document is a service manual illustration labeled "Fig 4: Forward Clutch Pressure Tap Location." It shows a side-view line drawing of an automatic transmission case, with an arrow and callout identifying the forward clutch pressure tap port on the lower side of the transmission. A directional arrow marked "FRONT OF VEHICLE" points to the right of the image, orienting the viewer so the tap can be located relative to the front of the car. The graphic reference number G00084390 appears at the bottom left. A reader can learn exactly where to connect a pressure gauge to measure forward clutch hydraulic pressure during transmission diagnosis. The tap is depicted near the bottom edge of the case, toward the front, among a row of bolts along the pan rail area. The document contains no text beyond the figure title, the two callout labels, and the graphic ID; there are no torque specifications, pressure values, part numbers, or year/model applicability statements visible. It was uploaded as part of a set of transmission diagnostic documents for a 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis, and nothing in the image contradicts that attribution.
