6F35 Clutch Module, new and ready to install. Fits the 6F35. Ships fast from the USA.
This listing is a new friction clutch plate kit for the second- and third-generation Ford 6F35 six-speed, the transaxle used from 2013 on in front-drive and all-wheel-drive Ford and Lincoln models such as the Escape, Fusion and MKC. If you have the unit apart because it slipped in reverse, flared between gears or left a layer of black lining material on the pan magnet, this is the set of lined plates that goes back between your steels. It is frictions only: steels, seals, gaskets and hard parts are bought separately, so it suits a rebuild where the steel plates still measure flat and show no heat bluing.
The 6F35 makes six forward speeds and reverse with five multi-plate clutches: forward (1-2-3-4), direct (3-5-reverse), overdrive (4-5-6), intermediate (2-6) and low/reverse. Every shift is a handoff where one pack releases while another applies, and the transmission computer times that overlap by watching input and output speed. Fresh friction lining grips the steel plates at the pressure the computer expects. Once the paper lining glazes, chars or wears thin, the pack needs more pressure and more time than it is given, and the engine flares through the shift or the gear slips under load. Because each clutch serves several gears, the gears that misbehave tell you which pack is failing.
Do not order clutches on symptoms alone. A 6F35 with low fluid, a worn solenoid pressure regulator bore in the valve body, or a sticking solenoid can produce harsh or slipping shifts with perfectly good frictions, and new plates will burn again if line pressure is still low. Check level and condition first, read every stored code, and look at the pan. Our Ford 6F35 transmission problems guide covers the valve body wear and electrical faults that imitate a clutch failure. If the pan holds lining debris and the slip lines up with one clutch, plan the teardown and inspect the valve body while it is out.
The kit is described for the Ford 6F35 Generation 2 and Generation 3, 2013 and later, six-speed only. That range includes models such as the 2013-and-later Escape and Fusion and the Lincoln MKC; Ford also used the 6F35 in the 2016-2019 Explorer with the 2.3L engine. It is not listed for the 2009-2012 first-generation unit, whose frictions differ, so a 2009-2012 build should start with the 6F35 overhaul kit for 2007-2012 and matching plates. Before assembly, lay each new plate on its old counterpart and match outside diameter, tooth count and thickness pack by pack. If you are unsure which generation you have, send us your year and VIN and we will check it. Everything we stock for this transmission is on the 6F35 collection page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. It is a friction plate kit only. Steels, piston seals, gaskets, bushings and hard parts are not included, so measure your steels and plan to buy sealing parts for the same teardown.
The kit is described for 6F35 Generation 2 and 3 units from 2013 and later. A 2009-2012 vehicle has the first-generation 6F35, so it is not a listed fit. Send us your year and VIN if you want us to check.
Reverse, third and fifth all use the 3-5-reverse clutch, so slipping in those gears points at that pack. New frictions fix the lining, but also check the wave plate, the drum and the valve body regulator bores, since low apply pressure is a common reason the pack burned.
At least 30 minutes in Mercon LV before assembly, so the paper lining is fully saturated and does not run dry on the first engagements.
Yes. Clear the adaptive shift tables with a capable scan tool, then drive through every gear under light and moderate throttle so the computer learns the fill times of the new packs.
