6R75 Governor Pressure Solenoid 2006, new and ready to install. Fits the 6R75. Ships fast from the USA.
Searching for a 6R75 governor pressure solenoid usually means one of two things: a 2007-2008 Expedition or Navigator that bangs into gear and shifts hard, or a scan tool that flagged a pressure control fault. Ford's six-speed does not actually have a governor or a governor pressure solenoid. The part that does that job is the EPC, or line pressure control, solenoid, and that is what this is: one new solenoid with the black connector, described by the source as an original-equipment Bosch unit for 6R60, 6R75 and 6R80 transmissions from 2006 on. It is a single solenoid, not a full set.
Old hydraulic Ford automatics such as the C6 and AOD used a mechanical governor on the output shaft to time shifts; the six-speeds have nothing like that and rely entirely on electronic pressure control. The computer sends a varying current to the EPC solenoid, the solenoid's output acts on the main regulator valve, and the regulator sets line pressure for every clutch. When the computer wants a soft, quick shift at light throttle it asks for less pressure; when you tow or floor it, it asks for more so the clutches do not slip. A solenoid that sticks, drifts or loses its calibrated range throws that balance off, and the clutches either slam on or slide.
One complaint that is often blamed on this solenoid is the hard 2-1 downshift coming to a stop on the 2007-2008 Navigator 5.4L. Transmission Digest documented that one as a calibration issue fixed by reprogramming the PCM, so rule that out before you pull the pan. Our Navigator 6R problems guide and the Expedition shift problems guide walk through it.
Check the Mercon LV level first, hot and on level ground, since low fluid causes the same flare-and-bang pattern. Then look at commanded pressure and solenoid current on a scan tool while you drive; if the current never changes, the circuit or the computer is the problem, not the solenoid. Ohm the solenoid at the case connector and again directly at the solenoid with the pan off. If the two readings differ, the internal harness or lead frame is at fault, and a 6R80 lead frame conductor plate kit is the right part instead.
The listing covers 2006-and-later 6R60, 6R75 and 6R80 units. On the 6R75 that means the 2007-2008 Expedition and Navigator; the 6R60 is found in the 2006-2010 Explorer and Mountaineer. Two details decide whether it is right for your unit. First, the connector: this one is black, and white-connector versions exist, so compare your original before ordering. Second, the band number from 1 to 5 printed beside the barcode. Sonnax explains that the band records the solenoid's calibrated current window, so the new one should carry the same band as the one you remove. If you cannot read it, send your year and VIN and we will confirm the match. Everything we stock for these units is on the 6R80 and 6R75 parts page.

No. Ford's 6R60, 6R75 and 6R80 control line pressure electronically through the EPC (line pressure control) solenoid. Listings that say governor pressure solenoid for these units mean this EPC solenoid.
One new EPC solenoid with the black connector. If several solenoids test out of range, a complete solenoid set is the better buy.
The 2007-2008 Expedition and Navigator use the 6R75, which this solenoid is listed for. Confirm the black connector and band number on your original, or send your VIN and we will check.
Each solenoid is sorted into a band from 1 to 5 based on its calibrated current. Matching the band of the original keeps the computer's pressure tables accurate, so shifts stay smooth.
Often not. That complaint on 2007-2008 Navigators was addressed with a PCM reprogram. Have the calibration checked before replacing the solenoid.
Mercon LV. Set the level at operating temperature, then clear codes and let the computer relearn.
