I am interested in seeing what a tune can do in a Fusion Sport as the current performance 93 octane tunes for a F-150 with 2.7TT sees gains of 60HP and 100ft/lb torque at peak levels but does anyone know how much torque the 6F55 transmission can take. I read that the transmission was fortified but I worry that at the current 380ft/lb being listed by Ford (or 400 ft/lbs in the Lincoln counterpart MKZ using the 3.0TT engine - both using what I assume is the same 6 speed) that there may not be much left with causing damage. I hope that Ford has made this transmission capable enough that we may be able to use a nearly 500ft/lb Fusion - this would be a beast of a car that no one would ever see coming>.

My only reference to the transmission being used in the Fusion was posted by MotorTrend in their 2017 Ford Fusion First Look review.

And the other related question is: how much can the AWD system handle?

All of this is definitely very important, the trans, the awd system, and the axles.

Dunno what the max torque the 6F55 transmission can take but I assume tuners will take this into account.

This is why I'll probably wait a year or two before I consider a tune to let everyone else crater their drivetrains. I remember the sorry transmission in my old '93 Taurus SHO as well as the made-of-glass drivetrain in the 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track Edition. The sounds that torsen rear diff made toward the end.... :crying:

Well I have been looking for a solid spec but haven't found one yet. But, if we follow Fords normal transmission nomenclature what we have is:

6 = 6 Speed
F = FWD
55 = 550 Newton-Meters or 405 ft-lbs of torque (downstream side of the torque converter)

400 is good for 12's I'd say.

Yes Sir I believe so.
