6F35 Banner Rebuild Kit 2009-2012, new and ready to install. Fits the 6F35. Ships fast from the USA.
This is a super banner rebuild kit for the first-generation Ford 6F35 six-speed built from 2009 through 2012. That is the automatic behind the 2.5L four-cylinder in the Escape and Mercury Mariner and the four-cylinder Fusion and Milan of the same years. If yours slips on the 2-3 or 3-4 shift, flares when it is hot, takes its time going into Reverse, or came apart with clutch material in the pan, this kit renews the soft parts of the whole unit in one teardown.
Bushings, hard parts, the valve body and the torque converter are not part of this kit.
The 6F35 was developed alongside GM's 6T40, and it makes six speeds by trading clutches: the 1-2-3-4 clutch, 3-5-R clutch, 4-5-6 clutch, 2-6 clutch and low/reverse clutch. Each shift releases one clutch while another applies, so a single glazed pack shows up as a flare or slip on one particular shift. Rubber-bonded pistons harden with heat and age, and once the bond lip stops sealing the clutch applies late and soft no matter how good the frictions are. Replacing pistons, frictions and seals together is what makes a high-mileage rebuild last.
Two cheap faults on this unit look exactly like worn clutches. The external harness can break a wire inside its insulation at the case connector, which sets speed sensor and solenoid codes on a healthy transmission, and old Mercon LV can cause slip and shudder by itself. Our Ford 6F35 problems guide walks through the order: wiggle-test the harness, check and change the fluid, then look at valve body bore wear. If the clutches are gone, a rebuild is the fix, but rebuilding without addressing worn regulator bores often burns the new frictions. If only shift feel is the issue, a 6F35 shift kit for 2009-13 may be all you need.
This kit is listed for 2009-2012 6F35 units. Sonnax identifies first-generation 6F35s by the casting numbers 9L8P or BL8P-7A100 on the valve body, solenoid body and lead frame, and notes that the second generation arrived during 2013 with internal changes. If your transmission was built in late 2012 or early 2013, check those castings before ordering. A 2013-up unit should use one of the later kits in our 6F35 collection. If you are not sure, send us your year and VIN before ordering and we will confirm it.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Usually not. The second-generation 6F35 arrived during 2013 with a different solenoid body, dampers and calibration. This kit is for 2009-2012 first-generation units, identified by 9L8P or BL8P-7A100 castings. Send us your VIN if your vehicle was built near the changeover.
An overhaul kit is only gaskets and seals. This super banner kit adds a friction pack, a piston kit and a filter, so the parts that usually wear out in a slipping 6F35 are all replaced in one job.
No. This kit covers the internal soft parts only. Have the converter inspected or serviced separately during the rebuild, because clutch debris collects inside it.
Mercon LV only. Ford specifies it for every 6F35. Do not use Mercon V. A dry fill after a rebuild takes around 8 liters, and the level must be checked at operating temperature.
Yes. Clear the transmission adaptive values with a scan tool and complete a relearn drive so the computer learns the new clutch fill times. Skipping it can leave harsh or flared shifts on a good rebuild.
