6R75 Solenoid Kit 2006, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 6R75. Ships fast from the USA.
Hard clunks into Drive, firm shifts that never soften once the fluid is warm, or a P0960-series pressure control code on a 6R75 Expedition or Navigator usually send owners looking for the EPC solenoid. This listing is that part: one remanufactured EPC (line pressure control) solenoid with the white connector, described for the 6R60, 6R75 and 6R80 from 2006 on. Although the listing name says kit, you receive a single solenoid, not a full set of seven, which makes it the low-cost repair when the pressure control solenoid alone has been proven bad.
The 6R75 is the heavier-duty version of the 6R60 and shares its solenoid body layout: five shift solenoids lettered A through E, a converter clutch solenoid, and the line pressure solenoid this page sells. The EPC never applies a clutch itself. It signals the main pressure regulator, which sets line pressure for every apply in the unit. Behind a 5.4L pulling a camper, the computer asks for high pressure under load so the clutches hold, then drops it at light throttle so shifts stay smooth. The solenoid is normally high, so with no current it delivers maximum pressure. That is the failsafe: a broken circuit leaves the transmission harsh but protected rather than slipping.
Start with the fluid level checked hot and any engine codes cleared, because a low or burnt sump causes the same flares. Measure the EPC circuit at the case connector and then at the solenoid; if the case reading is bad but the solenoid is fine, the internal harness is the fault and our 6R75 internal wiring harness is the repair. Also know the one complaint a solenoid will not fix: a harsh 2-1 downshift below about 10 mph on a 2007-2008 Navigator built on or before April 17, 2008 is a calibration issue Ford cures with a PCM reprogram. The pressure control solenoid symptoms guide walks through the full test, and the Expedition shift problems guide covers the SUV-specific causes.
The listing covers 2006-up 6R60, 6R75 and 6R80 units. The detail that matters most is the connector: this one is white. We also carry a black-connector 6R75 EPC solenoid, and the two should not be treated as interchangeable without checking. Pull your old solenoid and compare connector color, snout and the part number printed on it. Then read the band number (1 to 5) by the barcode; Sonnax notes the band records the solenoid's calibrated current window, so a matching band keeps the computer's shift tables accurate. If you are unsure, send your year and VIN with the order and we will check it. Every 6R75 and 6R80 part we stock is on the 6R parts page.
The solenoid is reached from below with the pan and filter removed and the valve body loosened. Fit fresh O-rings lubricated with clean ATF and seat the solenoid square in its bore so the O-rings do not roll. While the pan is down, look at what is in it: heavy friction material says the clutches have been slipping and a solenoid alone will not save the unit. A new filter and pan gasket, like our 6R60/6R75/6R80 filter and pan gasket kit, belongs in the same job. Refill with Mercon LV only and set the level hot. Clear codes and let the computer relearn; shifts can feel firm for a few drive cycles while adaptives settle. If several solenoids test weak, a complete 6R75 solenoid kit is the better buy.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
One solenoid. It is the remanufactured EPC line pressure control solenoid with the white connector. If you need all seven, look at our complete 6R75 or 6R80 solenoid kits.
The listing covers 2006-up 6R60, 6R75 and 6R80 units. Match the white connector, snout and band number on the solenoid you remove, or send your year and VIN and we will confirm.
The band identifies the solenoid's calibrated current window. A mismatch can leave shifts too firm or too soft because the computer is controlling it with the wrong data, so match the band on your original.
Probably not. Ford ties that complaint on 2007-2008 Navigators built on or before April 17, 2008 to PCM calibration, and the fix is a reprogram, not a solenoid.
Mercon LV only. Check the level hot through the fill plug with a scan tool showing fluid temperature, and do not add shift-fix additives.
