AI caption · Photo 174 of 579

This document is an exploded parts diagram of a Ford AX4N automatic transaxle, focused on the thermostatic fluid control valve and side cover area. The main illustration shows the transaxle case (callout 1) with the valve body/channel plate assembly (callout 7) removed on the left, and on the right the filter/screen with gasket (callout 2), fasteners (callouts 3, 4, 6), and the side cover marked "AX4N METRIC" (callout 5). An arrow labeled "VIEW A" indicates the viewing direction for the inset detail at the bottom of the page. The inset, titled "THERMOSTATIC FLUID CONTROL VALVE PARTS," identifies two small components with letter codes: A = coiled pin and B = retaining collar, and uses callouts 8 and 9 to point to the valve parts themselves. The drawing carries the figure identifier D14638-C. No numbered parts legend, part numbers, torque specifications, or year/model applicability text appears on this page; the reader learns the physical arrangement and disassembly relationship of the AX4N side cover, filter, and thermostatic fluid control valve components, and how the coiled pin and retaining collar fit within the valve assembly.
