8F35 Planetary 2019, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 8F35. Ships fast from the USA.
Shopping for a 2019-or-newer Ford with the 8-speed front-drive automatic and a gear noise or slip you cannot shake? This remanufactured output planetary gear set is made for the 8F35 used from the 2019 model year on, including the Edge and Lincoln Nautilus that launched the transmission, the 2020-up Escape and Corsair, the 2021-up Bronco Sport and the 2022-up Maverick. The listing also names the 8F40 variant.
The output planetary combines a ring gear, a pinion carrier and a sun gear into one assembly that the 8F35 uses in every ratio. Pinion gears ride on needle bearings, and early 8F35 production had a known weak point there: Transmission Digest describes a run of pinion needle bearings with a hardness problem, and Ford issued bulletin 22-2281 for units built on or before December 20, 2021 that slip, engage harshly and set clutch codes because of worn output carrier bearings. If your vehicle was built in that window and has those symptoms, this gearset is the core of the repair.
Check the build date on the driver door tag and compare it to the December 20, 2021 cutoff in the bulletin, then read our 8F35 bulletins guide to see whether a software update or valve body cleaning applies to your complaint instead. Our pump bushing wear guide is worth reading too, because the bulletin has you inspect that bushing whenever converter codes are present. A noise that follows road speed, metal on the magnets and pinion play at teardown together confirm the gearset.
This gear set is listed for 2019-up Ford 8-speed front-drive applications using the 8F35 or 8F40. That covers gasoline versions of the Edge, Escape, Bronco Sport, Maverick, Transit Connect, Nautilus and Corsair, but some engines in those lines are paired with a larger 8-speed and the hybrids use a different transaxle, so confirm the transmission code before ordering. This is an aftermarket remanufactured assembly rather than a Ford-numbered part; compare pinion count, ring gear teeth and internal spline against your old one. If you would rather install the Ford-numbered part, we carry the JM5Z-7N473-C output carrier. Send us your year and VIN and we will check it, or see all parts on the 8F35 parts page.
Replace the gearset as part of a complete overhaul. Bearing debris embeds in friction linings, so install new frictions and steels; a master kit with frictions, steels and filter covers both. Set pinion end play, inspect thrust washers and bearings, and clean the valve body with attention to the solenoid-controlled valves. Back-flush the cooler and flush or replace the converter. Use care with the pump drive chain at assembly, refill with Mercon ULV and run a PCM software update and adaptive relearn. Expect firmer shifts for the first few days of driving.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Yes, any planetary can wear out, but Ford's bulletin targets units built on or before December 20, 2021. On later builds rule out software, fluid and clutch problems first.
It is listed for 2019-up Ford 8-speed front-drive units using the 8F35 or 8F40, such as gasoline Edge, Escape, Bronco Sport, Maverick, Nautilus and Corsair models. Confirm the transmission code before ordering.
A wheel bearing usually changes when you turn and load one side. A planetary whine follows road speed and is often present in several gears. Metal on the transmission pan magnet points to the gearset.
Usually. Ford's procedure says to replace any friction material with embedded metal, and most rebuilders replace all frictions and steels after a carrier failure.
