The FLC ATX was a 3-speed hydraulic/non-computerized automatic transaxle produced by Ford Motor Company from 1981 through 1994. It had no lockup torque converter and no overdrive. This transmission was controlled by a throttle or "kick down" cable and never a computer. The ATX was replaced with the JATCO/Mazda computer-controlled F-4EAT transmission in 1991 on escort and tracer models only. The FLC continued production for the 1991 only Ford Taurus with the 2.5 4cyl. 1991-1994 Ford Tempo and Mercury Topaz 2.3 and 3.0 engines.
