About this product

This is a remanufactured seven-piece solenoid set for the Ford 6F35 six-speed in 2015 through 2019 vehicles. In that window the 6F35 was the automatic behind the smaller engines in the Escape and Fusion, the Lincoln MKC, and the 2.3L EcoBoost Explorer. Buyers usually find it with a car that slams into second, flares on the 3-4 shift, sits in a fixed gear after a code sets, or shifts fine cold and badly once warm. The photo shows the set you receive: six matching solenoids plus one with a different body, which matches the 6F35 layout of five shift solenoids, a converter clutch solenoid and a line pressure solenoid.

What these solenoids do in a 6F35

The 6F35 is computer-controlled from outside the case, and the solenoids are the only way the computer can move a clutch. Sonnax's 6F35 service guide charts them as follows. SSA, SSC and the converter clutch solenoid are variable force solenoids that are normally low. SSB and SSD are variable force solenoids that are normally high. SSE is a normally closed on/off solenoid. The line pressure solenoid sets the base pressure that all of them work from. Each gear is a combination of two clutch solenoids, so a sticking or weak solenoid usually affects a pair of shifts and can show up as a flare on the way up and a bump on the way down. The solenoids sit in the valve body casting, held by two retaining pins each.

Symptoms of worn 6F35 solenoids

How to confirm a solenoid problem first

In this model range, rule out the cheaper causes before buying anything. A wire fractured inside its insulation at the external transmission connector can set speed sensor and solenoid codes on a perfectly healthy unit, and cooked Mercon LV can cause slip and shudder by itself. Shudder deserves one extra check on these years: Ford Customer Satisfaction Program 20N07 covers certain 2015-2019 MKC and 2016-2019 Explorer models with the 2.3L and the 6F35 for vibration, rough idle and launch shudder, and the fix there is a torque converter, not solenoids. Run the VIN before you replace parts. Finally, worn aluminum bores for the solenoid pressure regulator valve can starve every solenoid of feed pressure, which feels like several solenoids failing at once. Our 6F35 problems guide lays out that harness, fluid, then valve body sequence.

Fitment

The listing covers the 6F35 in 2015-2019 vehicles. Ford built the 6F35 in more than one generation with different solenoid bodies, and Sonnax notes that generation 1 solenoids carry blue and yellow caps while later ones do not. Compare the solenoids in our photo, and the band number stamped on each solenoid can, with the ones in your valve body before you order, or send us your year and VIN and we will check it. Other parts for this transmission are on our 6F35 parts page.

Install notes

If bore wear is part of the story, the 6F35 valve body with solenoids replaces the casting and solenoids together. A harsh early 6F35 can also benefit from the 6F35 shift kit while the valve body is apart.

6F35 Solenoid Kit 2015-2019: common questions

How many solenoids are in this kit?

Seven, matching the 6F35 layout: shift solenoids A through E, the converter clutch solenoid and the line pressure solenoid.

Will it fit my 2017 Ford Escape?

It is listed for 6F35 transmissions in 2015-2019 vehicles. Ford built more than one solenoid body generation, so compare the band numbers and solenoid style on yours, or send your VIN and we will confirm.

My 2.3L Explorer shudders on launch. Is this the fix?

Check Ford program 20N07 first. It covers certain 2016-2019 Explorers and 2015-2019 MKCs with the 2.3L and 6F35 for shudder and rough idle, and the repair there is a torque converter.

Do I need programming after replacing the solenoids?

Yes. The solenoid strategy lives in the engine computer, so it needs to be reflashed to match, followed by a relearn drive.

What fluid does the 6F35 take?

Mercon LV only. Ford lists it for every 6F35 application. Do not use Mercon V.
