Ford F-4EAT transmission
The F-4EAT was a 4-speed, electronically controlled automatic transmission developed by Mazda and JATCO beginning in 1990. It was also later produced by Ford Motor Company from 1991 to 2003, to replace the 3-speed/hydraulic controlled ATX. It is referred to as the "F4A-EL" or "G4A-EL" by both Mazda and Kia, who also used this transmission. This transmission is an updated Mazda F3A transmission, 3-speed hydraulic controlled transmission. The F-4EAT uses electronic, computer controls, a 4th gear overdrive, has a lock-up torque converter and differential. It used a computer-controlled speed sensor for the speedometer.
