Seats the right-side intermediate shaft seal and dust deflector on 2007-2010 Ford Edge, Flex, Taurus and Lincoln MKX, MKS, MKT to stop passenger-side ATF leaks.
On 2007-2010 Ford Edge, Flex and Taurus and the Lincoln MKX, MKS and MKT, the right-side intermediate (linkshaft) seal at the transmission is a known leak point. The symptom is red ATF dripping on the passenger side near the power transfer unit, and Ford addressed it in TSB 09-25-7 for RH intermediate shaft seal leaks. The repair calls for factory tools 205-883 and 205-882, which this two-piece kit replaces.
The kit includes one linkshaft seal installer and one linkshaft seal deflector installer. The seal installer drives the new seal in square and to the correct depth so the lip is not rolled or cocked, which is the usual reason a replacement seal starts weeping again a few weeks later. The deflector installer presses the dust deflector onto the shaft at the right position so it shields the new seal from road grit.
On the car: drain or lower the fluid level, pull the right half-shaft and intermediate shaft per workshop manual section 308-07B, pry out the old seal without scoring the bore, clean the bore, lube the new seal lip with ATF, and drive it home with the seal installer. Fit the deflector with the deflector installer, reinstall the shafts and top off the fluid. Tool cross-reference number is 6875.
