About this product

This is a remanufactured solenoid body for the 2007 Ford 6F50, the six-speed front-wheel-drive transaxle that launched that year in the Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX with the 3.5L V6. Although it is listed as a solenoid kit, the part pictured is the complete molded solenoid body, not a bag of loose solenoids: the solenoids, the fluid temperature sensor and the internal wiring come as one assembly that bolts to the valve body. Owners land here with a first-year Edge or MKX that shifts erratically, refuses to upshift, drops into a fixed gear, or keeps setting shift solenoid codes after the fluid has already been changed.

What the solenoid body does in a 6F50

The 6F50 has no transmission computer of its own. The engine computer fires every solenoid, and the solenoid body is the hardware that turns those commands into hydraulic pressure. Transmission Digest breaks the Ford body down as seven solenoids plus a transmission fluid temperature sensor. Six are pressure control solenoids. Three of them are normally low and feed the 2-6 clutch, the 1-2-3-4 forward clutch and the converter clutch. Three are normally high and control line pressure, the 3-5-Reverse clutch and the 4-5-6 overdrive clutch, which also handles low/reverse pressure in first and Reverse. The seventh is an on/off solenoid that applies the low/reverse clutch. Because every clutch apply in the box runs through this one part, a single weak solenoid or a cracked internal circuit shows up as shift trouble across several gears, not just one.

Symptoms of a failing 6F50 solenoid body

How to confirm it before you buy

On a 2007 6F50 most of the electrical side can be checked from outside the case. Every solenoid and sensor runs through the case connector, so solenoid resistance and the computer's commands can be measured there before the pan comes off. Check fluid level and condition first, then inspect the external harness and the connector pins for heat damage and fluid wicking. A broken wire at the connector can look exactly like an internal fault. If the codes and resistance readings point inside the case, the solenoid body is the usual answer. If the codes are clean but the transmission slips under load, look at clutch wear and valve body bore wear instead. Our guide to Ford 6F35 and 6F50-family problems walks through the harness, fluid and valve body checks in the order a rebuilder does them.

Fitment

This listing is for the 2007 6F50. That first model year covers the Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX. The 6F50 stayed in production for years and went through running changes, and later units such as the 6F55 are not guaranteed to share the same body or software. Before ordering, compare the identification on your original solenoid body and the tag on the transmission case, or send us your year and VIN and we will check it for you. The rest of our parts for this transmission family are on the 6F35 and 6F50 parts page.

Install notes

If the shift feel was harsh even before the solenoid codes set, the 6F50 shift kit addresses the hydraulic side while the valve body is out. A first-year unit that has been running hot also benefits from an auxiliary 6F50 transmission cooler, since heat is what shortens the life of both the fluid and the solenoids.

6F50 Solenoid Kit 2007: common questions

Is this a set of loose solenoids or the whole solenoid body?

The part pictured is the complete solenoid body assembly with the solenoids and the fluid temperature sensor built in. On the 6F50 the body is serviced as one assembly.

Will it fit my 2007 Ford Edge or Lincoln MKX?

It is listed for the 2007 6F50, which is the transmission in the 2007 Edge and MKX. Compare the ID on your old solenoid body and the case tag, or send us your VIN and we will confirm it.

Does the computer need to be programmed after installing it?

Yes. Ford uses solenoid-body-specific software, so the engine computer should be reprogrammed for the new body, followed by an adaptive relearn drive.

What fluid does the 6F50 use?

Mercon LV. Do not top off or refill with older Mercon V.

Can I test it before pulling the pan?

Yes. On the 6F50 every solenoid and sensor runs through the case connector, so resistance and commands can be checked there first.

Is this the same as the GM 6T70 solenoid body?

No. The two transmissions are related, but the GM body carries the transmission computer and an extra solenoid. The Ford body does not, so they do not interchange.
