6F35 Planetary, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 6F35. Ships fast from the USA.
This is a complete 6F35 planetary set: the input, reaction and output planet carriers plus the input and reaction sun gears, cleaned and inspected and ready to go into a Ford six-speed transaxle. Builders look for a full set when a Ford Escape, Fusion, Mercury Mariner, Lincoln MKZ or MKC with the 6F35 develops a gear whine that changes with road speed, loses a gear completely, or comes apart with a shattered carrier and bronze in the pan. Buying the set as matched factory hardware saves you from piecing together carriers and sun gears from different cores.
The 6F35 builds its six forward ratios and Reverse from three simple planetary gearsets working together. The five clutches hold or drive different members of these gearsets, and each combination produces one ratio. The input set takes engine torque from the clutch drums, the reaction set is held to multiply torque, and the output set delivers the result toward the final drive. When a pinion bearing fails or a sun gear spline wears, every gear that routes power through that member is affected, which is why a planetary failure often shows up as noise in some gears and silence in others.
The pinions on this set have no groove cut in the gear face. That is one of the details to check against your old parts, along with the tooth counts above.
A worn valve body can cause slips and harsh shifts that feel like hard-part damage, so read the codes and check pressure first. Our guide to Ford 6F35 transmission problems covers the regulator and solenoid faults that should be ruled out. Noise is the better pointer to the gearsets: if the sound tracks road speed rather than engine speed and is gone in neutral coast, tear down and check each carrier. Spin every pinion, measure end play, and look for blue heat marks on the pinion shafts.
This set is for the Ford 6F35 front-wheel-drive six-speed, used in Ford, Mercury, Lincoln and Mazda models from the 2009 model year on. Ford revised this unit through several generations, so check before ordering: compare pinion counts and tooth counts with your old carriers, look for the ungrooved pinion faces, and do not assume a 6F50 or 6F55 carrier will fit, since the larger transmission uses different reaction parts. If you are unsure, send your year and VIN and we will confirm it. All of our 6F35 parts are listed on the 6F35 transmission parts page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Yes. The set includes the input carrier (5 pinions, 24 teeth), the reaction carrier (3 pinions, 34 teeth) and the output carrier (5 pinions, 23 teeth), plus the input sun gear (41 teeth) and the reaction sun gear (35 teeth).
No. Those are the larger relatives of the 6F35 and use different gear train parts. For example, the 6F50 reaction carrier uses 32-tooth pinions instead of the 34-tooth pinions in this set.
Gear damage usually makes a speed-related whine or growl and leaves bronze or steel in the pan. Clutch failure usually shows up as slip or flare without noise. Air-check the clutches and inspect the pinions by hand during teardown.
Ford specifies Mercon LV for the 6F35. Flush the cooler first so metal from the old gear set does not reach the new parts.
Replace the thrust bearings and washers, the filter, and any worn bushings at the sun gear and drum splines, and check end play after assembly.
