6F35 Input Drum 2009, used and ready to install. Fits the 6F35. Ships fast from the USA.
This is a good used, original Ford 6F35 input drum, the 4-5-6 clutch drum, for 2009 and later transaxles in vehicles like the Escape, Fusion, Mercury Mariner and Mazda Tribute. It is the budget way to replace a drum that cracked, spun a bushing or lost a piston seal. It comes loaded with good used clutches and steels, and the 3-5-R clutch hub support, the piece many rebuilders call the ring tower, is included. Every drum is hand checked, inspected and cleaned before it is listed. If you are searching because your 6F35 slips in the top gears or has trouble with Reverse after a long tow or a hot summer, this is the hard part at the center of that complaint.
Torque from the converter turbine comes into the transmission through this drum. It holds the overdrive (4-5-6) clutch, and its outer lugs, 24 on this design, drive the 3-5-R clutch. With the hub support in place, the drum feeds and carries both packs. Because the 4-5-6 clutch works in 4th through 6th and the 3-5-R clutch in 3rd, 5th and Reverse, damage here rarely stays in one gear.
Scan the transmission, note which gears set ratio codes, and match them to the clutches that apply in those gears. Do not skip the valve body; a worn 4-5-6 regulator bore in Gen 1 and Gen 2 units can make a healthy drum look bad. Our guide to Ford 6F35 transmission problems lays out the pressure and solenoid checks. If you already have the case open, air-check both pistons in your old drum and look for cracks around the lugs and feed holes before you decide.
The drum is listed for 6F35 transmissions from 2009 on. The 6F35 was updated over its run, and Gen 1 and Gen 2 drums are not always the same, so compare outer lug count (24 here), spline count and the hub support with your own parts, and send your year and VIN if you are unsure. It will not fit a 6F50 or 6F55, which use a larger drum; that is a separate listing, the 6F50 input drum with input shaft. See everything for this unit on the 6F35 collection page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It is the hub support for the 3-5-R clutch that sits with the drum. Yes, it is included with this drum.
No. This is a used OEM drum loaded with good used clutches and steels. Check the clearance and friction condition, and fit new clutches if your old ones were burned or the unit is being fully rebuilt.
This one is a cleaned and inspected used drum at a lower price. The remanufactured version has been tested as an assembly. Both are the 2009-up 6F35 4-5-6 drum, so choose based on budget and how much of the unit you are rebuilding.
It may be. Reverse, 3rd and 5th all use the 3-5-R clutch carried by this drum. Confirm with a pressure check and an air check before replacing it, because valve body wear can cause the same symptoms.
Mercon LV. Ford specifies it for the 6F35. Do not substitute a multi-vehicle ATF.
