Summary

Multiple 2014-2016 vehicles equipped with 6f35 transmission and built on 1-jan-2014 and through 31-dec-2015 may exhibit harsh reverse engagement and harsh/delayed 3rd and 5th gear up/down shifts with no dtcs present. This may be due to a mechanically binding shift solenoid b (ssb). Verify harsh reverse and 3rd and 5th gear shift events are present. Using ids, identify the band number of ssb for use when ordering parts. Remove the main control. Disassemble and thoroughly clean the valve body and solenoid body to remove any contaminants. Replace ssb, refer to workshop manual (wsm) section 307-01. Using ids, clear transmission adaptive tables. For claiming, use causal part 7g383 and applicable labor operations in section 7 of the service labor time standards (slts) manual.
