Rebuilding the 6R60 Converter
Ford introduced the 6R60 transmission in 2005, when it was originally used for Explorers equipped with the 4.6L gas engine. In 2008 and 2009, the 6R60 transmission also was used in some 4.6L F-150 pickups. The 6R60 transmission comes with a multi-plate, captive-clutch converter with a unique design. One single-sided clutch disc rests against the cover. This clutch disc has 12 tangs that engage the turbine arranged in groups of three around the disc’s outer diameter. The clutch disc is sandwiched between the cover and a two-sided clutch disc that is attached to the cover in six positions close to its inner diameter.
Tips for Quality Rebuilding
Have you ever wondered why some rebuilders never seem to have a comeback? Their units are installed, test driven and delivered time after time without any problems. Their success is the result of a combination of things that any transmission rebuilder with motivation and good skills can do.
