6R60 Overhaul Kit 2007-2008, new and ready to install. Fits the 6R60. Ships fast from the USA.
The 6R60 is the six-speed Ford put behind the 4.6L V8 in the Explorer, Explorer Sport Trac and Mercury Mountaineer. On a 2007 or 2008 truck with well over 100,000 miles, the usual complaints are a puddle under the pan, a lazy shift into gear after the truck sits overnight, and slipping that shows up once the fluid is hot. This is the Precision International KP37900J overhaul kit, interchange number 95002D, built for the early 6R60, 6R75 and 6R80 family from 2006 through 2008 only. It holds the gaskets, seals, O-rings, sealing rings and small rubber parts for a complete reseal.
The 6R60 was the first of Ford's in-house six-speeds from its agreement with ZF, followed by the heavier-duty 6R75 and later the 6R80. Inside are five clutch packs, three that drive and two that hold, arranged around a Lepelletier geartrain. Every forward gear needs two packs applied together, and each one relies on a rubber piston seal plus Teflon rings that carry oil into spinning drums. On the 6R60 the input shaft carries two sealing rings, and the stator support has a front bushing that the 6R80 does not. When those rings and seals wear, pressure leaks away and the pack slips. The overhaul kit replaces all of that sealing in one job.
The early 6R60 carries its transmission control module and solenoids on the valve body inside the pan, so a harsh or erratic shift can be an electrical fault rather than a worn seal. Scan for codes and watch commanded gear against actual gear on a test drive. Our 6R80 family common problems guide walks through the control-side checks that apply to the 6R60 as well. If the codes point to ratio errors, the fluid is low or burnt, and the electrical tests pass, plan on a teardown with this kit.
This kit is cataloged for the 6R60 in 2006-2008 vehicles. In 2008 and a half, Ford cut the valve body dampers from six to two (the change from J1 to J2 units), and for 2009 it changed a case feed and switched the family to Mercon LV. That makes 2009-2010 Explorers a different case, so send us the VIN before ordering for those years. Read the tag on the transmission case and compare the old seals with the new ones as you strip the unit. We also carry the 2006 6R60 overhaul kit for first-year trucks, and the full family is on our 6R60, 6R75 and 6R80 collection page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
The 6R60 was used with the 4.6L V8 in the Ford Explorer, Explorer Sport Trac and Mercury Mountaineer. This kit is cataloged for 2006-2008 units, so it suits 2007 and 2008 V8 trucks.
Not without checking. Ford changed a case feed and moved to Mercon LV in 2009, and this kit is listed for 2006-2008 only. Send us your VIN and we will confirm the right kit.
No. KP37900J is the overhaul kit: gaskets, seals, O-rings, sealing rings and small rubber parts. Clutch plates, steels, the filter and solenoids are separate.
The 2006-2008 units were filled with Mercon SP. Ford switched the family to Mercon LV starting in 2009. Confirm against your owner guide and do not mix the two.
Yes. Clear the adaptive tables with a scan tool, then drive through several gentle stops and full upshift runs with the fluid hot so the module can relearn clutch fill times.
