6F50 Banner Rebuild Kit 2013-2018, new and ready to install. Fits the 6F50. Ships fast from the USA.
This banner rebuild kit is for the second-generation Ford 6F50 and 6F55 six-speed used from 2013 through 2018 behind the 3.5L and 3.7L V6. Typical vehicles are the Edge, Explorer, Flex and Taurus, plus the Lincoln MKX, MKT and MKS in those years. If yours slips on the 2-3 or 4-5 shift, is slow to pick up Reverse, flares when the fluid is hot, or has a pan full of dark material, this kit covers the parts that wear out in that kind of failure.
It does not include bushings, hard parts, a valve body or a torque converter.
The 6F50 was co-developed with GM's 6T70, and it gets six forward speeds from five clutches. Ford calls them the forward, direct (3-5-R), overdrive (4-5-6), intermediate (2-6) and low/reverse clutches. Every shift is one clutch releasing while another applies, so a worn pack shows up on specific shifts: a burnt 3-5-R clutch gives a 2-3 or 4-5 flare and a lazy Reverse, while a tired 2-6 clutch flares on the 1-2 and 5-6. A banner kit lets you replace every friction and piston seal at once instead of guessing which pack failed first.
Clutches often burn because of something else in the unit. Sonnax lists worn regulator valves in the 6F50 valve body as a cause of 2-3 and 4-5 flares, Reverse slip and burned 3-5-R and 2-6 clutches. If those bores are not repaired, new frictions can fail the same way. Rule out a broken wire at the external harness connector and old fluid first, as covered in our Ford 6F35 and 6F50 troubleshooting guide. Then pull the pan. Heavy friction material and dark fluid confirm worn clutches. A clean pan with an electrical code points to the 6F50 solenoid body instead.
This kit is listed for 2013-2018 second-generation 6F50 units with the 3.5L or 3.7L V6, and the kit also names the 6F55. It is not meant for 2007-2012 first-generation units. Within those years, the turbocharged and high-output models may use the 6F55 instead of the 6F50. Read the transmission code on the door tag, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm the match before it ships. Other years and parts are in the Ford 6F35 and 6F50 collection.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. This kit is listed for the 2013-2018 second-generation 6F50. The 2007-2012 units are first generation and differ inside, so they need a first-generation kit. Send us your VIN if you are unsure which one you have.
The kit names both the 6F50 and the 6F55. However, the 6F55 is the heavier-duty version. Confirm your exact transmission code from the door tag or VIN with us before ordering for an EcoBoost or high-output vehicle.
Bushings, hard parts such as drums and planetaries, the valve body and the torque converter are not included. Inspect those while the unit is apart and replace anything that measures worn.
Mercon LV. Ford's fluid chart lists it for the 6F50 and 6F55. Do not use Mercon V. Check the level with the transmission at operating temperature.
Worn clutch regulator valves in the valve body are a common cause. Sonnax lists 3-5-R regulator wear as a cause of 2-3 and 4-5 flares, Reverse slip and a burned 3-5-R clutch. Fix the valve body during the rebuild, or the new clutch can fail the same way.
