Complete master overhaul kit for the Ford 6F35 six-speed with clutch frictions, steels, gaskets and seals to rebuild Escape, Fusion and Edge units.
A burned low/reverse or 2-6 clutch is what puts most Ford 6F35 transaxles on the bench, and this master rebuild kit is the complete set of soft parts to bring one back without chasing individual pieces. It bundles the friction clutch plates, steel plates, overhaul gaskets, seals, sealing rings and lip seals for the six-speed used in the Escape, Fusion, Edge, Explorer and Taurus, along with the Lincoln MKC and MKZ and the Mazda Tribute and Mercury Mariner and Milan.
The 6F35 is a transverse, front-drive six-speed that shifts by trading one clutch for another under control of the transmission control module. The low/reverse clutch holds for first under engine braking and for reverse, and the 2-6 clutch holds in second and sixth, so both work hard in stop-and-go driving. When their frictions wear thin, the module stretches pressure and shift time until the slip shows up anyway. Replacing every friction and steel together, with new piston seals and sealing rings, returns each pack to a known clearance so the adaptive strategy starts from a clean baseline.
Note which gears slip, because that tells you which pack failed: first and reverse together suggest the low/reverse clutch, second and sixth together suggest the 2-6 clutch. Pull the pan and check the magnet and filter for fiber or steel. Harsh shifts with a clean pan are more likely solenoid or valve body faults, covered in our Ford 6F35 problems and fixes guide. If the valve body is worn, a replacement 6F35 valve body belongs on the order with this kit.
Listed for 2009-2017 Escape (1.5, 1.6, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0L), 2010-2017 Fusion, 2012-2016 Edge 2.0L, 2012-2015 Explorer 2.0L, 2013-2014 Taurus 2.0L, 2015-2017 Lincoln MKC, 2013-2014 MKZ, and the Mazda Tribute and Mercury Mariner and Milan. Ford built the 6F35 in more than one generation with different clutch and steel counts, so set the old frictions and steels out by pack and match each stack to the kit before assembly. If your parts do not line up, send us your year and VIN and we will help you sort it out. Every part we carry for this unit is on the 6F35 transmission page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Friction clutch plates, steel plates, the overhaul gasket and seal set, sealing rings and rubber lip seals. Fluid, a filter, hard parts like drums and the pump, and special tools are not included.
The low/reverse and 2-6 clutches are common failures, as is the 3-5-R clutch and its wave plate. Which gears slip tells you which pack is gone.
The kit is listed for 2010-2017 Fusion with the 6F35. Ford changed clutch and steel counts between generations, so match each pack from your unit to the kit before you assemble it.
Only if the valve body is worn. If the pan is clean and the complaint is harsh shifting, the valve body or solenoids may be the real cause. If you find friction debris, the kit is needed either way.
Mercon LV. After filling and checking the level hot, reset the adaptive tables with a capable scan tool so the module relearns shift timing on the new clutches.
