Parts for the CFT23 Automatic Transmission

You are browsing an assortment dedicated to continuously variable transmissions (CVT) used in many popular Ford models. This category includes CFT23 parts that will help you carry out repairs effectively.

All components displayed as available are physically in stock at our warehouse, meaning they are ready for immediate dispatch. Ordering complete repair kits reduces the time a serviced vehicle spends on the workshop lift and ensures faster completion of the repair job.

How to Identify the CFT23 Transmission Correctly

VIN decoders are a common diagnostic pitfall in vehicles equipped with this drivetrain. These systems very often provide misleading information, identifying a conventional automatic transmission instead of the actual continuously variable CVT variant.

Relying solely on the vehicle identification number creates a risk of ordering incompatible components. The only fully reliable method of verifying compatibility is to physically read the information on the identification plate located on the transmission housing.

Always verify the manufacturer's serial codes before purchasing. The presence of numbers such as 6M5P-7000-AD and 4M5P-7000-AH on the housing ultimately confirms that the CFT23 model is the transmission you are working on.

CFT23 Repair Kits and Parts Available

We have divided our assortment into logical groups to make it as easy as possible for you to complete your order. You will find sealing kits, friction components, electronic components, and essential service accessories for this transmission.

The CFT23 automatic transmission requires a rigorous approach to sealing components. Using complete repair kits minimizes the risk of secondary leaks. This reduces the likelihood of having to remove the transmission again and deal with customer complaints at the workshop.

Replacing individual seals or clutch plates one by one may seem like a way to save money, but it is often a false economy. A disassembled transmission occupying valuable workspace and a blocked workshop lift generate real financial losses. Ordering a complete kit that the courier delivers on the next business day is an optimal business decision.

Criteria for Selecting Filters and Service Fluids

Service components vary considerably in terms of their technical specifications. Parts such as oil filters and oil pan gaskets differ depending on the production year of the particular vehicle.

The most noticeable design change is the different number of mounting holes in the gaskets. This requires visual verification each time, along with a comparison of the ordered component against the old, removed part.

When performing routine maintenance, use complete filter kits only. Use the appropriate service fluids, opting for dedicated RAVENOL oils formulated to meet the stringent specifications of continuously variable CVT systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Do VIN decoders always correctly identify the CFT23 transmission? No, these systems often confuse CVT transmissions with conventional automatics. Always verify the number directly on the transmission housing.

• Where can I find the markings confirming the transmission model? Look for stamped OEM numbers, such as 6M5P-7000-AD or 4M5P-7000-AH, on the metal transmission housing.

• Why do you recommend complete repair kits instead of individual seals? A complete kit helps prevent secondary hydraulic system failures and gets the workshop lift back into service faster than waiting for additional individual parts to arrive.

• What should I pay attention to when selecting an oil pan gasket? You should verify the number of mounting holes, as the oil pan design varies depending on the vehicle's model year.

• Which fluid should I choose for routine maintenance of this transmission? A fluid meeting the specifications for continuously variable CVT transmissions is required. We offer, among other products, certified Ravenol oils.

• When will I receive my ordered parts? The status “in stock” means that the product is physically available in our warehouse. Orders placed during business hours are shipped the same day.
