8F35 Input Drum, used and ready to install. Fits the 8F35. Ships fast from the USA.
If your 2019-up Ford Edge, Escape, Bronco Sport, Maverick, Transit Connect, Lincoln Nautilus or Corsair has an 8F35 that has been torn down and the forward/input drum came out scored, cracked or with a damaged shaft, this is the assembly you are looking for. It is a used OEM Ford forward/input drum, Ford part number JM5P-7F213-FA, supplied loaded and still joined to its sun shell and input shaft. That means you are not hunting three separate pieces and hoping the splines and shell match - the drum, shell and shaft come out of one 8F35 and go back in as one assembly.
The 8F35 is Ford's 8-speed front-wheel-drive transaxle, built from the same family as GM's 9-speed 9T50. Engine torque leaves the converter turbine through the input shaft, and the input shaft drives this drum. The drum carries the clutch pack it houses plus the apply piston, and the attached sun shell passes that rotation on to the planetary set it feeds. When the drum's piston bore, sealing surfaces or spline teeth wear, clutch apply pressure bleeds off and the pack it holds slips. Because the shaft rides in the stator support, the same assembly also matters to the torque converter circuits - more on that below.
The 8F35 has several known faults that feel like a slipping clutch drum but are not. Ford TSB 22-2281 covers slipping, harsh engagement and assorted codes on units built on or before 20-Dec-2021, and the root cause is worn needle bearings in the output planet carrier, not the drum. TSB 19-2386 covers P0766 and intermittent no reverse caused by contamination in the separator plate orifices, and TSB 21-2389 covers a 35 mph shudder fixed with PCM software and solenoid data. Read our 8F35 TSB guide and check the build date before you condemn hard parts. If the unit is already apart, inspect the drum's piston bore, the bushing and ring surfaces, the sun shell welds and the shaft splines, and air-check the piston. Our slipping diagnosis guide walks through separating a pressure problem from a mechanical one.
This drum assembly is listed for 8F35 units in the 2019-2024 Ford Edge 2.0L EcoBoost, 2020-2025 Escape 1.5L and 2.0L EcoBoost, 2021-2025 Bronco Sport 2.0L, 2022-2025 Maverick 2.0L EcoBoost, 2019-2022 Transit Connect 2.0L, 2019-2025 Lincoln Nautilus 2.0L and 2020-2025 Lincoln Corsair 2.0L. It does not fit the Fusion, MKZ or MKC with the 6-speed 6F35. Ford also builds a lighter-duty 8F24 in the same family, so read your transmission tag first. The surest check is to compare the part number, the shaft length and spline count, and the sun shell against your original. If you are unsure, send your year and VIN before ordering. Every 8F35 part we carry is on the 8F35 parts page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It is the loaded forward/input drum still assembled to its sun shell and input shaft, as one used OEM Ford assembly (JM5P-7F213-FA).
No. Those models use the 6-speed 6F35. This drum is for the 8-speed 8F35 in the Edge, Escape, Bronco Sport, Maverick, Transit Connect, Nautilus and Corsair.
Not always. Ford TSB 22-2281 links slipping and harsh engagement on early units to worn output planet carrier bearings, and TSB 19-2386 covers no reverse from a contaminated separator plate. Rule those out first.
Ford Mercon ULV. Do not top off or refill with Mercon LV or a generic multi-vehicle fluid.
Replace the input shaft seal and check the stator support bushings, set the clutch clearance, then reset the transmission adaptive learning with a scan tool and complete a road test.
