2014-2016 Vehicles With 6F35 Transmission – Harsh Reverse Engagement And/Or Harsh Or Delayed Shift Into 3rd And/Or 5th Gear – Without DTCs
Some 2014-2016 Escape/Fusion/Explorer/MKC/MKT/MKZ/Taurus/Transit Connect/Edge vehicles equipped with a 6F35 transmission may exhibit harsh reverse engagement and/or harsh or delayed shifts into 3rd and/or 5th gear with no DTCs present.
Using a scan tool, identify the shift solenoid (SS) band numbers of SSB, SSD and torque converter clutch (TCC) solenoids.
Record bands for use when ordering parts.
Remove the main control valve body.
Disassemble and thoroughly clean the valve body and solenoid body to remove any contaminants.
Replace SSB, SSD and TCC.
Identification of solenoid position is provided in the Workshop Manual (WSM) section 307-01 and instruction sheet packaged with solenoids.
Using a scan tool, clear transmission adaptive tables. Claim applicable labor operations in Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) section 7.
- Prevents overheating, reducing elevated operating temperatures up to 40 degrees Farenheit - Optimizes total transmission performance
- Eliminates transmission fluid foaming and oxidation and reduces wear throughout the transmission
- Eliminates clutch chatter and torque converter shudder; Softens and modifies harsh shifts making them quicker in duration
- Extends fluid life / Raises the thermal and oxidative stability of the fluid
- Only protectant that increases the fluid’s ability to transfer heat / Protects new seals and permanently restores older seals to a like-new condition, without adverse side effects
