2001–2007: 4F27E 4-speed automatic (FWD) or 5R55E 5-speed (AWD with V6) 2008–2012: 6F35 6-speed automatic 2013–2019: 6F35 continued with 1.5T and 2.0T EcoBoost 2020+: 8F35 8-speed automatic
The 6F35 solenoid replacement resolves most Escape transmission problems without a full rebuild. The 4F27E at 120k+ mileage is a rebuild situation. The 8F35 in 2020+ Escapes is new enough that targeted solenoid repair is usually the right first step.
6F35: Mercon LV — change every 40,000 miles 4F27E: Mercon V
Solenoid service: 1 day. Full rebuild: 2–3 business days.

"The free diagnostic alone was worth the trip. They found the problem fast, gave me a written estimate, and completed the work on time. Exceptional service."
"Family owned and it shows. They treated my car like it was their own. The lifetime warranty on my rebuild gives me total peace of mind. Highly recommend."

On a pre-2008 Escape with 4F27E, 4th gear slipping usually means band wear. A full rebuild is the appropriate repair — partial fixes don't hold on a worn 4F27E.
Solenoid service: 1 day. Rebuild: 2–3 days.
Yes — the rear coupling (PTU on AWD Escape) is separate. We service both.
2008+ Escape: Motorcraft Mercon LV — do not substitute. Using Mercon V or generic ATF in a 6F35 will cause valve body wear.
Same-day appointments available. Honest estimates, no surprises. We've been doing this since 1987.
