Complete 6F35 valve body with shift and pressure control solenoids installed, for Ford Escape, Fusion, Edge, Transit Connect and Lincoln MKZ 2015-2021.
The 6F35 valve body is the part that fails first on these transmissions, and it is rarely just one bad solenoid. Worn bores and a scored separator plate throw off hydraulic control across the whole unit, which is why swapping the entire assembly with fresh solenoids already installed fixes the root cause instead of chasing one component at a time. This listing carries Ford part reference CV6Z-7G391-A and ships as a complete, ready-to-install unit with the shift solenoids and pressure control solenoids already mounted, so you are never transferring solenoids off a questionable core.
What this valve body does in the 6F35
In the 6F35, the valve body routes line pressure from the pump through precision bores and spool valves to apply and release each clutch pack in the sequence the transmission control module commands. The shift and pressure control solenoids mounted to it are what the computer actually fires to move that hydraulic pressure around in real time. When the bores wear or a solenoid sticks, the whole shift strategy degrades, not just the one gear closest to the worn spot.
Symptoms that point to this part
How to confirm it before you buy
Any of the codes above, especially paired with a shift complaint that got worse after a fluid change rather than better, points at the valve body and solenoid pack rather than the clutches themselves. Our Ford 6F35 transmission problems guide breaks down what each of those codes means and how to tell a valve body failure apart from a worn clutch pack before you order parts.
Fitment
This assembly fits the 6F35 only, not the 6F50 or 6F55, and covers the Ford Transit Connect 2015-2021, Fusion 2015-2020, Escape 2015-2018, Explorer 2015-2018, Edge 2015-2018, Taurus 2015-2017, Special Service Police Sedan 2014-2018, and Lincoln MKZ 2015-2020 and MKC 2015-2019. Confirm your part reference against CV6Z-7G391-A or send your VIN before ordering, since Ford revised the 6F35 solenoid pack and body casting more than once across this production run. If your vehicle predates 2015, see our earlier 6F35 valve body listing, or the full master rebuild kit with valve body if you are already into the transmission for a clutch repair.
Install notes
Drop the pan, pull the filter, unplug the internal wiring harness at the solenoid body, and back out the valve body bolts. Note how the manual valve pin engages the detent lever before you remove the old unit so the new one seats the same way, then torque the bolts down in a cross pattern rather than working around the edge, which helps avoid warping the gasket surface. Install a fresh filter and pan gasket along with this part, refill with Mercon LV, and reset the adaptive shift tables afterward so the transmission control module relearns against the new solenoids instead of compensating for the old ones. Add a 6F35 transmission cooler if the vehicle has a history of overheating, since heat accelerates the same bore and solenoid wear that causes this failure in the first place.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. This assembly fits the 6F35 only. The 6F50 and 6F55 use a different casting and solenoid pack. Check our 6F50 valve body listings if your vehicle uses that transmission instead.
P0776, P0715, P0796, P0729 and P0741 are the stored codes most commonly tied to a worn 6F35 valve body and solenoid pack, especially when paired with a hard 1-2 shift, a flare between 2nd and 3rd, or no 4th or 5th gear.
Bore wear inside the valve body casting affects hydraulic control across the whole unit, not just the circuit tied to one solenoid. Replacing solenoids alone on a worn body usually brings the symptoms back within a few months, so the full assembly is the more reliable fix.
Yes. Reset the adaptive shift tables after installation so the transmission control module relearns shift timing against the new solenoids rather than continuing to compensate for the old, worn unit.
No. It ships assembled and ready to install, with no core charge and no core return required.
