Description

Stellar Automotive Group FNR5 Reduction Direct Clutch Bonded Piston – Compatible for Mazda & Ford 2006-2012

Stop slipping in 3rd-5th gears, delayed upshifts, and burnt reduction direct clutches with this precision bonded piston from Stellar Automotive Group.

This direct-replacement piston is the critical apply component for the reduction direct clutch pack in all FNR5 transmissions. The factory piston commonly cracks or loses its bond under heat and mileage, causing internal leakage that weakens clutch apply — leading to flare on upshifts, slipping under load, and rapid friction failure. This upgraded molded piston with permanently bonded rubber seal restores full line pressure, delivers crisp 3rd-to-5th transitions, and protects your clutch pack even in high-mileage daily drivers.

Perfect fit for popular models including:

  • Mazda 3, 5, 6, Tribute
  • Ford Escape, Fusion

Symptoms of a failing reduction direct piston:

  • Flare or slip on 3-4 or 4-5 upshift
  • Delayed engagement in higher gears
  • Burnt reduction direct frictions on teardown
  • Harsh shifts when clutches finally grab

Don’t let a $50 piston destroy a $500 clutch pack — install the Stellar Automotive Group bonded reduction direct piston and shift strong through every gear.

Note: All parts are distributed, not designed or manufactured, by Stellar Automotive Group.

Add this critical FNR5 rebuild part to your cart today and keep higher gears locked in tight!
