Coasting Clutch
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Mercury Villager. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The coasting clutch is applied in all forward gears only when the overdrive (O/D) control switch is off. The coasting clutch connects the input shaft to the ring gear, bypassing the forward one-way clutch. The coasting clutch allows for engine braking upon deceleration.
