Know This Transmission Before You Buy
The research behind our purchase interview — recalls, bulletins and real install economics for this transmission family:
A quick look at your own vehicle makes sure the right transmission shows up:
- Confirm vehicle is AWD/4x4 (look for rear driveshaft and PTU).
- Confirm engine is 2.0L EcoBoost (8th digit of VIN is '9' or 'U').
- Verify transmission tag ID on top of the case matches CV6P-BA or CV6P-HB.
What the install really takes — plan and budget with confidence:
Special tools this job needs:
- Engine support bar/stand
- Transmission floor jack
- 3/8" impact Allen/hex socket set
- Axle nut socket set
- OBD2 interface (e.g., OBDLink EX) and diagnostic software (FORScan or Ford IDS)
Budget for these consumables at install:
- Motorcraft Mercon LV ATF (approx. 8.5 to 9.0 quarts for dry fill)
- New torque converter seal (pump seal)
- New axle seals (left and right)
- New PTU compression seal (CV6Z-7086-B)
- New PTU mounting bolts (torque-to-yield)
- New torque converter nuts (one-time use, Ford part W715618-S437)
- Transmission cooler flush or replacement cooler
What your vehicle’s computers will need after the swap:
What’s involved: Solenoid Strategy Programming (Transmission Characterization Update) and Transmission Adaptive Relearn
The 13-digit Solenoid Strategy code and 12-digit Solenoid Body ID must be programmed into the PCM using a scan tool (such as Ford IDS or FORScan). Adaptive tables must be cleared, followed by an adaptive relearn drive cycle. Sources differ on whether a dealer-level tool is strictly required; FORScan with an OBDLink adapter can perform this, but a dealer tool (IDS) is guaranteed to work.
Pro tips for a smooth first start-up — hand them to whoever does the install:
- Torque Converter Seating: Must click/engage three times and spin freely before bolting to the flexplate. Failure to seat fully will destroy the front pump.
- Solenoid Strategy Sticker: Photograph the tag on the case before installation, as it is extremely difficult to read once installed.
- PTU Alignment and Seal: Replace the compression seal and align perfectly to avoid gear lube or ATF leaks.
- Fluid Level Check Procedure: No dipstick. Must check via leveling plug on the side of the case with the vehicle level, engine idling in Park, and fluid temperature between 185°F and 200°F.
Easy to get right once you know them:
- Skipping the Solenoid Strategy Programming, leading to immediate shift flares and clutch damage.
- Reusing Torque-to-Yield Fasteners (torque converter nuts or PTU-to-transmission bolts).
- Not Flushing or Replacing the Cooler, which introduces debris from the failed unit into the replacement.
- Incorrect Fluid Level Check (checking with engine off or cold).
- Buying the FWD version instead of the AWD version.
Not issues with the units on this page — the manufacturer documented these for every transmission of this family, wherever you buy one. Handy for your installer:
🔎 Recommended at install: Replace the shifter cable bushing to prevent unexpected vehicle movement or rollaway.
🔎 Recommended at install: Software calibration updates or repair of solenoid regulator/pressure regulator valves in the valve body.
🔎 Recommended at install: Program the 13-digit solenoid strategy into the PCM using a scan tool.
🔎 Recommended at install: Perform multiple drain-and-fills with Mercon LV, add friction modifier, or replace torque converter if degraded.
🔎 Recommended at install: Reprogram the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).

Shipping & Handling
- Ships by LTL freight on a pallet — a real freight truck, not a parcel van
- Your checkout freight quote covers delivery to your door (liftgate service included for residential addresses)
- The carrier calls ahead to schedule a delivery window — someone must be present to receive it
- Typically palletized and picked up within 2–3 business days; transit time depends on distance
120-Day Warranty
This part includes a 120-day warranty.
- If the part fails within the warranty window, we'll replace it or refund per the coverage terms
- Coverage is parts-only — installation labor is not included
- Warranty covers defects — not installation errors, misuse, or damage after installation
Your pre-purchase interview reviews these exact terms with you before anything is charged.
Returns (30 Days)
We accept returns of uninstalled parts within 30 days of delivery for this part.
- Defective parts: We will replace the part or issue a refund at our discretion
- Programming: "Needs to be programmed to my vehicle" is not a valid return reason. Many modules require dealer programming — we're happy to help connect you with resources if your dealer says it's not programmable
- Return shipping: This part ships by freight (LTL) — the part price is refundable per the terms above, but shipping costs are non-refundable and return freight follows the seller's return terms. Your pre-purchase interview walks through the exact numbers before you buy
- Parts must be returned in original packaging and unmodified condition
- Poorly packaged returns that arrive damaged will not be credited
Damaged in Shipping?
Freight damage is rare — and you're fully protected when you do two things at delivery:
- Inspect before you sign — you're allowed time to look the pallet over while the driver waits
- Write any damage on the delivery receipt before signing — that one line is what makes a freight claim succeed
- Severe damage? Refuse the delivery — it goes back at no cost to you and we make it right
- Photograph the pallet before unwrapping; report concealed damage within 24 hours of delivery
We handle the carrier claim — you just help document it. Your pre-purchase interview walks through this checklist too.
Order Cancellation
Cancel before shipment for a full refund. Once the pallet has been built, a preparation charge may apply — and once the freight carrier picks it up, shipping costs are non-refundable and standard return terms apply. Your pre-purchase interview shows the exact numbers before you pay.
