6F50 Valve Body 2006-2013, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 6F50. Ships fast from the USA.
Most people who land on this page own a 2007 to 2013 Ford Edge, Flex, Explorer or Taurus, or a Lincoln MKX, MKS or MKT, and they are dealing with one of three complaints: a shift that slams, a shift that slips and flares, or a check engine light with a shift solenoid code. This is a remanufactured 6F50 valve body for the 2006-2013 range, and it is the budget-friendly way to replace the hydraulic controls without paying for a complete transmission when the clutches inside are still healthy.
Ford and GM developed the six-speed front-drive family together, and Ford's version of the heavier-duty unit is the 6F50. Its valve body bolts to the side of the case and holds the spool valves, springs and solenoids that turn the TCM's electrical commands into clutch apply pressure. Because the 6F50 shifts by releasing one clutch at the exact moment it applies another, a small pressure error in the valve body shows up as a bang if the oncoming clutch applies too soon, or as a flare if it applies too late. A solenoid that tests fine on the bench can still produce a performance code if the valve it feeds is leaking oil through a worn bore.
Start with the fluid: correct level, correct type, and no heavy layer of friction material on the pan magnet. Read every stored code, not just the first one. An open or shorted circuit code usually means a wiring or connector fault you can repair without a valve body. A performance code, or several gear ratio codes at once, points at the hydraulics. If the only problem is converter shudder at cruise, rule out the cheaper 6F50 TCC solenoid before replacing the full assembly. Also rule out the 6F50's known 3-5-R wave plate failure, which takes out reverse, 3rd and 5th together and needs internal repair. Our 6F35/6F50 problems guide lays out these patterns side by side.
No vehicle of the 2006 model year shipped with a 6F50. The transmission debuted in the 2007 Edge and MKX, built from late 2006, which is where this listing's start date comes from. By 2013 the 6F50 was also in the Flex, Taurus, MKS, MKT and the redesigned 2011-up Explorer. Because the valve body and solenoid pack saw running changes over those years, and because some EcoBoost vehicles use the 6F55 version, compare the casting number and solenoid connector on your old unit to the photos, or send us the year and VIN. A second 6F50 valve body for this window is listed as the 6F50 valve body 2006-13, and the full range of parts is on the 6F35/6F50 collection page.
The valve body comes out with the transaxle in the vehicle once the side cover is off. Disconnect the solenoid harness, back the bolts out evenly in sequence, and keep the new unit level as you set it in place so no check balls or the separator plate shift. Torque to spec in the same sequence. Fill with Mercon LV and set the final level at operating temperature using the check procedure in your vehicle's service information. If your vehicle still shifts firm after the relearn, a 6F50 shift kit can help correct worn circuits elsewhere, and a weak 6F50 pump will undercut any valve body. Finish by clearing codes, resetting the adaptive tables, and driving several full cycles through all six gears.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Both cover the same early 6F50 window. They are separate remanufactured assemblies at different price points. Either way, match the casting number and connector on your old valve body or send us your VIN before ordering.
No. P0751 is a shift solenoid A performance code. It can come from the solenoid itself, low fluid, or a worn valve bore. Check fluid and wiring first; if those are good and the code returns, the valve body is the likely cause.
Probably not. On the 6F50, losing reverse along with 3rd and 5th is the signature of a broken 3-5-R clutch wave plate inside the case, which needs internal repair rather than a valve body.
Yes. The 6F50 valve body is serviced from the side of the transaxle with the unit in the vehicle. Plan on draining and refilling the fluid and replacing the side cover gasket.
Use Mercon LV. Set the final level with the fluid at operating temperature and follow the level-check procedure for your specific vehicle, since it varies by model.
