Item 94: Input Shaft Assembly Note
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mercury Mountaineer and 2004 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
The splines of the input shaft are not the same length on both ends. The shaft end with the shorter splines goes into the fluid pump.
