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:
- Verify VIN 8th digit is 'T' or 'G' to confirm 3.5L EcoBoost engine.
- Check driver's door jamb sticker under 'TR' for code 'G'.
- Confirm vehicle is a 4x4 / 4WD model.
- Verify vehicle has a floor-mounted rotary dial gear shifter.
What the install really takes — plan and budget with confidence:
Special tools this job needs:
- Transmission jack
- Ford-specific quick-disconnect tool for cooler lines
- Pressurized fluid pump/dispenser
- Professional-grade scan tool (Ford IDS, FDRS, or FORScan)
Budget for these consumables at install:
- Motorcraft Mercon ULV (Ultra-Low Viscosity) fluid (13.0 quarts dry capacity)
- Transmission filter and pan gasket
- Torque converter front pump seal
- Transmission cooler-line flush
What your vehicle’s computers will need after the swap:
What’s involved: Solenoid Strategy Programming (Transmission Characterization) and Transmission Adaptive Learning Relearn (KAM Reset)
The 13-digit solenoid strategy code from the replacement transmission's tag must be programmed into the vehicle's PCM/TCM. A KAM reset and adaptive learning drive cycle must also be performed.
Pro tips for a smooth first start-up — hand them to whoever does the install:
- Torque converter must be fully seated into the pump gears before bolting to the engine to avoid cracking the front pump.
- No under-hood dipstick; fluid level must be checked via a mini-dipstick under a 19mm cap on the passenger side.
- Fluid level check must be performed with the vehicle level, engine running in Park, and fluid temperature between 195°F and 215°F.
- Thermal bypass valve must be bypassed or heated flush machine used to properly flush cooler lines.
Easy to get right once you know them:
- Using the wrong fluid (e.g., Mercon LV or generic ATF instead of Mercon ULV).
- Skipping the mandatory 13-digit solenoid strategy programming.
- Reusing a contaminated transmission cooler without a professional hot flush.
- Checking the fluid level cold, leading to severe under-filling.
- Improper torque converter installation resulting in a cracked pump.
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: Overhaul main control valve body or replace CDF drum with updated part.
🔎 Recommended at install: Dealer software update and replacement of damaged transmission components.
🔎 Recommended at install: Update PCM/TCM software to match replacement valve body's solenoid strategy file.
🔎 Recommended at install: Replace torque converter lock-up clutch or entire torque converter.

Policies, in plain English.
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.
