• Description:

  This genuine Ford Motorcraft transmission filter kit services the 6F50 and 6F55 six speed automatic used across 2011 through 2019 Explorer and 2017 through 2020 Fusion applications, sold as Motorcraft FT-172. The filter mounts inside the transmission and draws fluid up to the pump, capturing clutch debris, metal particles, and contamination so that clean fluid reaches the valve body, solenoids, and clutch packs. As the media loads over a service interval it begins to restrict flow, and a buyer searching for this part is usually performing a scheduled fluid and filter change or addressing symptoms of a dirty or restricted filter such as delayed or harsh engagement, slipping, flare or hunting between gears, shudder during light acceleration, or a whine from the pump when the fluid is low on volume. Because the 6F50 and 6F55 are sensitive to fluid condition and level, replacing the filter whenever the fluid is serviced protects the solenoids and clutches from abrasive debris and helps preserve smooth shift quality. This is the factory Motorcraft filter built to the original flow, sealing, and fitment specification for the 6F family, so it seats correctly to the pump pickup without modification. Install it with a new pan gasket or seal as applicable, use only the specified Ford transmission fluid, and set the level using the correct temperature-based fill procedure, since these units do not use a traditional dipstick. Confirm your vehicle uses the 6F50 or 6F55 transmission before ordering rather than a different six speed unit.
