6F50 Clutch Module 2007, new and ready to install. Fits the 6F50. Ships fast from the USA.
Despite the module name, this listing is a complete set of new steel clutch plates for the Ford 6F50 and 6F55 six-speed, 2007 and later. It is made by Alto (reference 196753) and it pairs with a friction kit when you rebuild an Edge, Explorer, Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKX or MKT that burned its clutches. Steels are the half of each clutch pack that most often gets reused to save money, and they are also the half that quietly kills new frictions when they have been overheated, warped or scored.
The listing details 18 plates with their thickness, tooth count and the Ford service number each one replaces:
Frictions, seals and gaskets are not included.
Each of the five 6F50 clutches is a sandwich of lined friction plates and plain steel reaction plates. The frictions spline to one member, the steels to another, and when the piston squeezes the stack the two lock together. The steel surface carries away the heat of every engagement. A steel that has been run hot takes on a blue or dark tint, hardens in spots and can dish out of flat. Put fresh frictions against that surface and they glaze fast, producing the same flare or slip you rebuilt the unit to cure. That is why a quality rebuild replaces steels in any pack that slipped.
Steels are judged on the bench once the packs are out. Before teardown, confirm the transmission actually has a clutch failure: check Mercon LV level and condition, read codes and look for lining debris. A worn regulator valve bore or a sticking solenoid can starve a pack of apply pressure, so a slip is not always a clutch problem, and new plates will burn again if the hydraulic cause is left in place. Our 6F35 and 6F50 problems guide walks through that diagnosis.
Listed for the Ford 6F50 and 6F55, 2007 and later. Ford revised the unit over its run, so match each new steel against the old one for thickness, tooth count and inside diameter before you stack a pack, and ask us with your year and VIN if anything does not line up. The rest of the parts for this transmission are on the 6F35 and 6F50 collection page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It is a set of 18 new steel clutch plates for all five 6F50/6F55 clutches. No frictions are included, so pair it with a friction or rebuild kit.
The set is listed for 6F50 and 6F55 transmissions from 2007 on, which includes the Edge. Compare each new steel against your old plates for thickness and tooth count, or send us your year and VIN before ordering.
In any pack that slipped, yes in most cases. Heat-blued or warped steels glaze new frictions quickly. Reuse a steel only if it is flat, unscored and shows no heat discoloration.
Yes. The plates in this set are listed at 0.068 in, 0.085 in and 0.115 in depending on the clutch. Measure clearance on each pack after assembly and correct it with the selective plate or snap ring.
Motorcraft Mercon LV. Use it to oil the steels, soak the frictions and fill the unit.
