Rebuild Cost Guide

Ford F-150 Transmission Rebuild Cost in 2026

F-150 rebuild cost depends entirely on which transmission you have. A 4R70W rebuild runs half what a 10R80 rebuild costs. Below is real 2026 shop pricing — not dealer fantasy quotes.

2009-2017 Ford F-150 6R80 rebuild — $2,800 to $4,200

The 6R80 is the most common F-150 transmission for trucks built 2009-2017. Master rebuild kit runs $400-650, torque converter rebuild $250-400, valve body rebuild $300-500, plus 8-10 labor hours at shop rate. Add R&R (remove and replace) labor and you are at $2,800 minimum, $4,200 if the converter and pump both need replacement.

2017-present Ford F-150 10R80 rebuild — $3,800 to $5,500

The 10R80 is more complex — 10 speeds, more clutch packs, more solenoids. Kit runs $700-1,100, valve body $500-800, converter $400-600, labor 12-16 hours. Plan on $3,800 to $5,500 done.

2004-2010 Ford F-150 4R70W / 4R75E — $1,800 to $2,800

The legacy 4-speed transmissions are cheaper to rebuild. Master kit $250-400, valve body $200-300, converter $200-300, labor 6-8 hours. Total: $1,800 to $2,800.

Why prices vary

Big drivers: hard part damage (planetary, sun gear, sprag), torque converter rebuild vs new, and labor rate (shop charges $90/hr in the Midwest vs $150/hr on the coasts). If the vehicle came in with metal in the pan, expect the high end of the range.

How to spend less

Use a quality aftermarket kit (Sonnax, Transtec, Raybestos) instead of dealer OE. The parts cost difference can be $500-1,000 on the same job. Stock the bench yourself with common 6R80 / 10R80 solenoids so you do not pay parts-store markup mid-job.
