6F35 Clutch Module 2009, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 6F35. Ships fast from the USA.
This 6F35 clutch module is the aluminum 4-5-6 clutch drum, the housing that carries both the 4-5-6 and the 3-5-Reverse clutch packs in Ford's six-speed transaxle. Shops search for it when a 2009 or later Escape, Fusion, Mariner, Milan or Tribute starts slipping in the upper gears, bangs into Reverse, or comes apart with a cracked or scored drum. It is a remanufactured original Ford drum that has been cleaned and inspected, so you start the rebuild with a factory casting instead of a pull-out core of unknown mileage.
The 6F35 uses five clutches to make six forward speeds: a 1-2-3-4 clutch, a 2-6 clutch, a low/reverse clutch, and the two packs that live in this drum. Ford calls the 3-5-R clutch the direct clutch and the 4-5-6 clutch the overdrive clutch. The drum holds the pistons and return springs for both, and its outer splines drive the 3-5-R steel plates. Because one housing feeds two clutches, a leaking piston seal, a worn bushing or a cracked feed area tends to show up in several gears, not just one.
The drum in this listing is identified by its specifications: OE number 9L8Z-7G384-A, aluminum construction, 24 outer lugs for the 3-5-R clutch, a 5-clutch configuration, and roughly 0.190 in. from the 3-5-R snap-ring groove to the top of the drum. Those are the details to measure on your old part.
Rule out the hydraulics first. The 6F35 Gen 1 and Gen 2 valve bodies wear the 4-5-6 clutch regulator bore, and that wear can produce the same upper-gear slip as a damaged drum. Read the scan data, check line pressure and look for solenoid codes; our Ford 6F35 transmission problems guide walks through the regulator and solenoid faults worth checking first. If the slip lines up with the gears the drum controls and the pan holds friction debris, tear down and air-check both pistons. Inspect the bushing bores, the lug teeth for notching, and the snap-ring grooves for cracks.
The listing covers 6F35 transmissions from 2009 forward, the generation found in the 2009 Escape, Mariner and Tribute and the 2010-up Fusion, Milan and MKZ. Ford revised the 6F35 several times, so a 2009-up drum is not automatically right for every later unit. Before ordering, compare the lug count, the clutch count and the snap-ring groove height with the drum you removed, check any Ford number cast or stamped on it, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm. Everything we stock for this transmission is on the 6F35 parts collection.
If your inspection shows the input side of the drum assembly is damaged too, compare it with our 6F35 input drum listing before you order.

No. This is the remanufactured 4-5-6 clutch drum housing. Frictions, steels and piston seals come from a rebuild kit or your parts inventory, which lets you set clearance with fresh material.
It is listed for 6F35 transmissions from 2009 forward, such as the Escape, Mariner, Tribute, Fusion, Milan and MKZ. Because Ford updated the drum over the years, match the 24-lug 3-5-R spline, the clutch count and the snap-ring groove height, or send your year and VIN.
Ford specifies Mercon LV for every 6F35. Do not use Mercon V or a multi-vehicle fluid, and check the level with the transmission at operating temperature.
Yes. The 4-5-6 clutch regulator bore in 6F35 Gen 1 and Gen 2 valve bodies wears and upsets clutch apply pressure. Check line pressure and scan data before condemning the drum.
Yes. Clear the transmission adaptive tables with a capable scan tool after the rebuild and drive through every gear so the computer can learn the new clutch fill times.
