Direct Clutch Assembly

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Direct Clutch 

For direct (3, 5, R) clutch operation, REFER to: Direct Clutch Assembly .

Direct Clutch 

Condition Possible Sources Action
Direct (3, 5, R) clutch does not apply SSB Solenoid filter blocked CLEAN or INSTALL a new solenoid. REFER to: Solenoid Body . REFER to: Solenoid .
SSB is mechanically stuck OFF INSTALL a new solenoid. REFER to: Solenoid Body . REFER to: Solenoid .
Direct (3, 5, R) clutch regulator valve stuck OFF DISASSEMBLE, CLEAN and INSPECT the direct (3, 5, R) clutch regulator valve. REFER to: Main Control Valve Body . If bore or valve is damaged, INSTALL a new main control valve body.
SSB SIG, C35R, C35R SUP hydraulic circuits blocked/leaking DISASSEMBLE and INSPECT the main control valve body and separator plate passages for debris/blockage. CLEAN as necessary. REFER to: Main Control Valve Body .
REV SUPPLY/DRIVE 2 to C35R SUP check ball missing/damaged REMOVE the main control valve body, and INSPECT the check ball missing/damage. REFER to: Main Control Valve Body .
C35R supply hydraulic circuit blocked or leaking DISASSEMBLE and INSPECT the transmission cover and support tower passages for debris/blockage. CLEAN as necessary. REFER to: Transmission .
Rear planetary sun gear and shell assembly INSPECT the sun gear and shell for wear and damage. INSTALL new components as necessary. REFER to: Transmission .
Direct (3, 5, R) clutch friction plates DISASSEMBLE and INSPECT the direct (3, 5, R) clutch friction and steel plates. INSTALL new components as necessary. REFER to: Transmission .
Direct (3, 5, R) clutch piston seal leakage DISASSEMBLE and INSPECT the direct (3, 5, R) clutch piston and seals. INSTALL new components as necessary. REFER to: Transmission .
Direct (3, 5, R) clutch always applied SSB O-rings damaged/leaking INSTALL a new solenoid. REFER to: Solenoid Body . REFER to: Solenoid .
SSB mechanically stuck ON INSTALL a new solenoid. REFER to: Solenoid Body . REFER to: Solenoid .
Direct (3, 5, R) clutch regulator valve stuck ON DISASSEMBLE, CLEAN and INSPECT the direct (3, 5, R) clutch regulator valve and bias spring. If bore or valve is damaged, INSTALL a new main control valve body. REFER to: Main Control Valve Body .
SSB SIG, C35R, C35R SUP hydraulic circuits blocked/leaking DISASSEMBLE and INSPECT the main control valve body and separator plate passages for leakage. CLEAN as necessary. REFER to: Main Control Valve Body .
Rear planetary sun gear and shell assembly INSPECT the sun gear and shell for damage that would prevent free rotation. INSTALL new components as necessary. REFER to: Transmission .
Direct (3, 5, R) clutch friction plates DISASSEMBLE and INSPECT the direct (3, 5, R) clutch friction and steel plates. Measure clutch pack clearance. INSTALL new components as necessary. REFER to: Transmission .
Direct (3, 5, R) clutch piston return spring INSPECT the return spring for damage. INSTALL new components as necessary. REFER to: Transmission .
Direct (3, 5, R) clutch delayed/soft/slipping apply Incorrect Transmission Strategy programmed into PCM Remove SSB and record solenoid band number. REFER to: Solenoid . Using the scan tool, verify the correct band number is stored in the PCM. If bands numbers do not match, INSTALL a new SSB with correct band number.
SSB solenoid filter partially blocked or restricted INSTALL a new solenoid. REFER to: Solenoid Body . REFER to: Solenoid .
SSB mechanically sticking INSTALL a new solenoid. REFER to: Solenoid Body . REFER to: Solenoid .
Direct (3, 5, R) clutch regulator valve sticking DISASSEMBLE, CLEAN and INSPECT the direct (3, 5, R) clutch regulator valve. If bore or valve is damaged, INSTALL a new main control valve body. REFER to: Main Control Valve Body .
Direct (3, 5, R) clutch boost valve stuck ON DISASSEMBLE, CLEAN and INSPECT the direct (3, 5, R) clutch boost valve and bias spring. If bore, valve or spring is damaged, INSTALL a new main control valve body. REFER to: Main Control Valve Body .
SSB SIG, C35R, C35R SUP hydraulic circuits blocked/leaking DISASSEMBLE and INSPECT the main control valve body and separator plate passages for debris/blockage. CLEAN as necessary. REFER to: Main Control Valve Body .
REV SUPPLY/DRIVE 2 to C35R SUP check ball missing/damaged REMOVE the main control valve body and INSPECT the check ball missing/damage. REFER to: Main Control Valve Body .
