Missing Bracket
If you ever see this part in your parts basket and ask yourself if it belongs to your transmission, the
answer is yes. This is a bracket that is used as a retainer for the parking pawl anchor pin in the rear of
the case. It bolts onto the valve body at this location (see figure).

Check Ball & Separator Plate Changes
The O/D solenoid was eliminated and the hydraulics changed in 2009 model year. Along with these
changes the separator plate changed and the #6 and #7 check balls were eliminated.
The 2006-to-2008 valve body separator plate (part number 545AB) is shown in figure 1. The
2009-and-later separator plate (part number 52120004A;) (figure 2) identifies the feed holes that
were eliminated over check ball #6 and #7 locations.

Check ball #7 was removed to allow the 2C solenoid to control the 2C clutch apply in the manual 2
range instead of the multi select solenoid (figure 3).

Bind in Drive, Manual Detents OK, 2-3 Flare, P0756 & P0757
A complaint of bind in drive which could be driven through, along with a flare on the 2-3 shift may be caused
by the solenoid connectors swapped. The TCM also had two codes P0756 Shift Solenoid B Stuck Off and P0757
Shift Solenoid B Stuck On.
The technician then discovered that the two solenoids were in the wrong location. Shift solenoid B was
installed in the location closer to the firewall and the TCC solenoid was in stalled in the location closer towards
the radiator, which is the opposite of where they should be.
The solenoids connections cannot be swapped but the solenoids can be installed into the wrong hole. After
correcting the solenoid location mix up the symptoms still seemed to appear. After careful examination of the
solenoid connectors it was noticed that one the wires to the TCC solenoid was barely connected. Once the
connection was corrected the transmission performed normally.
Someone else may get these codes with the symptom of a bind on takeoff with a 2-3 Flare. Because they just
didn’t know they have it in the wrong location. Obviously the bind is caused by the TCC solenoid being fired
because it was in the solenoid B location. Fixing the pulled wire on the TCC solenoid was the final solution.
No electrical code was found in the scan tool for the wiring issue, just the stuck on and stuck off codes due the
bind on takeoff. Not seeing the solenoid electrical code could easily fool anyone into the wrong diagnosis.
The only thing that makes sense is possible the transmission was taking off in a higher gear after the solenoids
were relocated to their correct locations by the electrical problem with the TCC solenoid.

Valve Body and Separator Plate Changes
The 6R60, 6R75 and 6R80 are referred to as TCM Driven units, initially released with Bosch solenoids
and six dampers (accumulators) for the 6R60 and 6R75 transmissions until 2008 ½ or J1 units. In 2008
½ (11/16/09 J2 units) during testing Ford learned that only two were required so they eliminated
four dampers; A,B,C and TCC (figure 1) along with the feed holes in the separator plate part #6L2P-
7Z490-FD (figure 2). The D1 regulator spring bore 201 was removed and added a bleed circuit to the
“D” clutch these vehicle required using MERCON SP oil. The ID number on the 2006 to 2008 separator
plate is 6L2P-7Z490-FB (figure 3).

If you get one of these plates in a rebuild kit and it does not match the one that came out of the vehi-
cle the holes should be drilled to match the original one. These plates are calibrated to the year make
and model designation.
