About this product

This is a TransTec overhaul kit for a 2013 Ford 6F35, the six-speed automatic behind the four-cylinder engines in the 2013 Escape, Fusion and Lincoln MKZ. It is the reseal set you need once the transmission is on the bench: case gaskets, metal-clad seals, O-rings, a lip seal and the sealing ring set. Buy it if your 2013 6F35 leaks at the case or axle seals, takes a long time to engage when cold, or slips because pressure is leaking past hardened rubber and worn rings. TransTec has made transmission seal kits for the aftermarket since 1978, and the kit ships in its factory TransTec bag.

What is in the kit

Frictions, steel plates, bonded pistons, a filter, bushings and hard parts are not included. This is the seal and gasket set only.

What the overhaul kit does in a 6F35

The 6F35 has no bands. Five clutches make every gear: 1-2-3-4, 3-5-R, 4-5-6, 2-6 and low/reverse. Line pressure from the pump has to pass through case passages and spinning sealing rings before it reaches a piston. Every one of those joints depends on a gasket, an O-ring or a ring holding its seal. By the time a 2013 unit reaches 100,000 miles or more, the rubber has taken a heat set and the rings have worn their lands. Some apply pressure leaks off on the way, the clutch engages late, and you feel a slip or flare even though the frictions are still usable. A complete reseal fixes all of those leak points in one teardown.

Symptoms that point to a reseal

How to confirm before you buy

A reseal means removing the transmission and taking it apart, so rule out the outside causes first. Low fluid, a worn solenoid regulator bore in the valve body or a weak solenoid can all mimic a seal problem. Our Ford 6F35 transmission problems guide lays out the checks in order. If the pan holds heavy friction material or metal, this kit alone will not fix it. Go to a full rebuild such as the 6F35 master rebuild kit for 2013-2016, which adds the clutches.

Fitment

This listing is for the 2013 6F35. Ford brought out the second-generation 6F35 partway through 2013. Sonnax identifies Gen 1 by the casting numbers 9L8P or BL8P-7A100 on the valve body and solenoid body, and Gen 2 by CV6P-7A100. A 2013 vehicle can have either one, so look at the casting before you order. The compatibility chart that comes with the kit lists a long run of Ford and Lincoln models, and some of those use other transmissions. Go by the transmission itself, not the vehicle name. The listing gives 49374793 as the reference number. If you are not sure, send us your year and VIN and we will check. For earlier units, see the 6F35 overhaul kit for 2007-2012. Every 6F35 part we stock is on the 6F35 collection page.

6F35 Overhaul Kit 2013: common questions

Does this 6F35 overhaul kit include clutches or pistons?

No. It is the TransTec seal and gasket set: gaskets, metal seals, O-rings, a lip seal and sealing rings. If your clutches are burnt or a piston lip is damaged, order frictions and pistons separately or choose a master rebuild kit.

My vehicle is a 2013. Is it Gen 1 or Gen 2?

It could be either. Ford introduced the Gen 2 6F35 during 2013. Read the valve body casting: 9L8P or BL8P-7A100 means Gen 1, and CV6P-7A100 means Gen 2. If you cannot get to it, send us the VIN.

The compatibility list includes the F-150 and Mustang. Will it fit those?

Go by the transmission, not the vehicle. This kit is for the 6F35 front-drive six-speed. Models in that list that use a different transmission need a different kit.

Will a reseal fix my slipping 6F35?

It can if the slip comes from leaking seals and the clutches still have good lining. If the fluid is burnt and the pan has friction material in it, the clutches are worn, and a reseal alone will not hold.

Which fluid does the 6F35 take after the overhaul?

Ford specifies Mercon LV for every 6F35. Set the level with the transmission at operating temperature, then reset the adaptive tables with a scan tool.
