INTRODUCTION
MAZDA GF4A-EL AND FORD GF4EAT
The Ford GF4EAT is currently found in the 1993 Probe equipped with the 2.5L engine. The Mazda version
designated GF4A-EL is found in the "626" equipped with 2.0L and 2.5L engines. It is a fully computer
controlled, four speed transaxle, and contains seven solenoids on the valve body. The seven solenoids provide
up and downshift cycles, lock-up control and apply feel, and line pressure control.
This manual contains the information necessary for electrical and mechanical diagnosis, as well as complete
disassembly and assembly procedures for repair and/or overhaul. This manual also provides the transaxle
specifications and a special service tool section showing the specialized tools required to service this unit.
