6F35 Solenoid Kit 2008, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 6F35. Ships fast from the USA.
This listing is a remanufactured set of original-equipment solenoids for the early Ford 6F35 six-speed, sold as the 2008 version. The early 6F35 is the automatic in the first six-speed Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and Mazda Tribute, and it shared its solenoid design with the first Fusion applications. If your car shifts erratically, gets stuck in one gear with the wrench light or check engine lamp on, or bangs into Drive after sitting, and the codes point at shift solenoid performance, this is the set that replaces the whole solenoid group in one job. The photo shows what you get: seven solenoids, including the line pressure solenoid with its blue seals.
Every clutch apply in the 6F35 is commanded electrically. The transmission computer modulates current to each solenoid, and the solenoid turns that current into a hydraulic signal that strokes a regulator valve and fills a clutch. The line pressure solenoid sets base pressure for all of it, and one solenoid controls the converter clutch. Sonnax points out that first-generation 6F35 solenoids use canisters and caps similar to the older ZF six-speed design with blue and yellow caps, while later units moved to clear caps with band numbers printed on the canister. The yellow-capped canisters in our photo match that first-generation description. The two families are calibrated differently and are not interchangeable.
Check the cheap things first. The external harness connector on the 6F35 is known for a wire breaking inside its insulation, which sets solenoid and speed sensor codes on a sound transmission, so back-probe and wiggle-test it with a meter. Pull a fluid sample, because burnt fluid causes slip by itself. Then note which gears misbehave: a problem only in certain ranges points at that circuit's solenoid or its regulator bore, while low pressure everywhere points elsewhere. Our Ford 6F35 problems guide covers the full test order and the worn solenoid pressure regulator bore that can mimic bad solenoids.
The listing is titled for the 6F35 in 2008, which in practice means the first-generation unit; the 6F35 itself reached the Escape, Mariner and Tribute around the 2009 model year. Fitment follows the valve body, not just the calendar. Sonnax identifies first-generation units by the casting numbers 9L8P or BL8P-7A100 on the main valve body, solenoid body and lead frame, and that is what you should find before ordering. If your casting reads CV6P-7A100, you have a later unit and need the CV6Z-7G391-A solenoid pack instead. Compare the caps and connectors on your old solenoids with the photo, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm it. The rest of the parts for this unit are on our 6F35 parts page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
They are original-equipment solenoids that have been cleaned, tested and returned to service rather than newly built aftermarket parts. Many rebuilders prefer OEM units because the calibration matches what the factory computer expects.
Look for casting number 9L8P or BL8P-7A100 on the valve body, solenoid body or lead frame. A CV6P-7A100 casting is the later generation and takes different solenoids.
No. Units built from 2013 use redesigned solenoids with clear caps and a valve body with added damper assemblies. The early and late solenoids are not interchangeable.
Mercon LV, which Ford specifies for every 6F35. Top up through the fill plug to the level check procedure in the service information with the fluid at operating temperature.
Only if a solenoid is the cause. Slipping can also come from burnt clutches, a worn pressure regulator bore or low fluid. Check fluid condition and which gears slip before replacing solenoids.
