6F35 Overhaul Kit 2013-14, new and ready to install. Fits the 6F35. Ships fast from the USA.
If your 2013 or 2014 Ford Escape or Fusion with the 6F35 six-speed is coming out for a rebuild because it leaks at the case or axle seals, sits for a second before it drops into gear, or slips once it warms up, this is the reseal kit to rebuild it with. It is a Precision International overhaul kit made for the second-generation 6F35, packed in the maker's sealed bag. Inside are the case and cover gaskets, the O-rings and small rubber parts, the sealing rings for the rotating circuits, and the metal-clad seals, including the front pump seal and both axle seals.
The 6F35 does not use a single band. All six forward gears and reverse come from five multi-plate clutches (1-2-3-4, 3-5-R, 4-5-6, 2-6 and low/reverse) that are applied by hydraulic pistons. To reach a piston, oil from the pump travels through the case and covers, past gasketed joints, and across spinning shafts and drums, where Teflon sealing rings hold it in. When those rings wear their lands and the rubber goes hard from heat, apply oil leaks away before it reaches the piston. The clutch then fills slowly, the computer sees a gear ratio that does not match, and you feel a flare or slip even if the plates still have lining left. Replacing every gasket, ring and seal in one teardown brings each circuit back to full holding pressure.
The pump seal and the two axle seals are a useful part of this particular set. Those are the leaks a driver can actually see, and with the transaxle already out of the car, replacing them costs nothing beyond the parts.
A reseal means pulling and disassembling the transaxle, so rule out the simple causes first. Check the fluid level hot, scan for codes, and remember that a worn solenoid pressure regulator bore or a weak solenoid in the 6F35 valve body can produce the same slips and harsh shifts without a single bad seal. Our Ford 6F35 transmission problems guide lays out which fault to check first. If you pull the pan and find heavy clutch material or metal, a seal kit alone will not hold. Plan on new frictions such as the 6F35 Gen 2 friction clutch pack, or a complete kit.
This kit is for the Gen 2 6F35 in 2013-2014 vehicles. Ford switched to Gen 2 partway through the 2013 model year, so a 2013 Escape or Fusion can have either generation. Sonnax identifies Gen 1 by the casting numbers 9L8P or BL8P-7A100 on the valve body and Gen 2 by CV6P-7A100. Read the casting before you order. A Gen 1 unit needs the 6F35 overhaul kit for 2007-2012. The 6F50 used in the V6 Edge, Flex and Taurus is a larger transaxle and takes a different kit. If you cannot see the casting, send us your year and VIN and we will confirm before it ships. All of our 6F35 parts are on the 6F35 collection page.
If the pump gears or bushing are worn, swap in a remanufactured 6F35 pump while the unit is apart. If you would rather have the clutches and seals in one box, the 6F35 master rebuild kit for 2013-2016 includes both.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Yes. Along with the gaskets, O-rings and sealing rings, this Precision overhaul kit includes the metal-clad seals, among them the front pump seal and both axle seals.
Only if your transmission is a Gen 2. Ford changed over during 2013. A valve body casting of CV6P-7A100 means Gen 2. 9L8P or BL8P-7A100 means Gen 1, which needs the 2007-2012 kit. Send us your year and VIN if you are not sure.
No. An overhaul kit is the gasket and seal set. If the clutches are burnt or a bonded piston is damaged, buy those separately or choose a master rebuild kit.
It will if the slip comes from pressure leaking past worn rings and hardened seals and the frictions still have lining. If the fluid is burnt and the pan has friction material in it, you also need new clutches.
Ford specifies Mercon LV for every 6F35. Pre-lube the seals with it, set the level at operating temperature, and reset the adaptive tables so the computer relearns clutch fill on the new seals.
