10R80 Banner Rebuild Kit, new and ready to install. Fits the 10R80. Ships fast from the USA.
This banner rebuild kit for the Ford 10R80 is new and branded BorgWarner. A banner kit is the middle ground between a seal-only overhaul kit and a full master kit: it pairs the overhaul gasket and seal set with new friction plates and a filter, but leaves the steel plates out. It suits a shop or builder rebuilding a 10R80 from an F-150, Mustang, Expedition, Navigator or Ranger where the steels are still flat and clean, and the goal is fresh frictions and soft parts without paying for plates that do not need replacing.
The 10R80 builds ten forward gears from four planetary sets, six friction clutches and one mechanical one-way clutch, according to GEARS Magazine. Each clutch is applied by its own shift solenoid, so the module relies on every pack filling and holding exactly as it learned. Worn frictions change the clearance and fill time the module expects, which is why a tired unit flares or slips on some shifts and bangs on others. The banner kit restores the friction side of each pack and reseals the pistons, drums and case, which is the soft-parts work every rebuild needs. Sonnax points to sealing rings and hub bushings as a main cause of lost apply pressure on 10-speeds, so the seal set is as important here as the frictions.
Start with the cheap checks. Ford TSB 23-2152 covers 10R80 harsh engagement and harsh or delayed shifts with a module reprogram and relearn, and GEARS Magazine notes that most early complaints were software, not hardware. Scan all modules, update the software and run the adaptive drive cycle. If the codes and slip return, drop the pan: burnt fluid and friction debris mean the clutches are done. Our 10R80 F-150 shift problems guide walks through that order, and the 10R80 Expedition common problems guide covers the same unit in the bigger SUV.
This version is listed for the 10R80 without a year range. GEARS Magazine lists the 10R80 in the 2017-up F-150, 2018-up Mustang, Expedition and Navigator, and 2019-up Ranger. The Bronco uses the 10R60 and is not covered. Because friction counts and plate thickness can differ between updates, lay one old friction next to a new one before you start, and send us your year and VIN if you want us to confirm. If you want a range-specific kit, see the 10R80 banner rebuild kit for 2016-19, or browse the full 10R80 parts collection.
Because steels are not in the box, inspect every steel plate. Blue heat marks, warping or a glazed surface mean new steels, and measuring clearance with heat-marked steels gives a false reading. Replace worn bushings while the unit is apart. On the input shaft, solid sealing rings are sized during installation, and the 10R80 input shaft sealing ring resizer kit sizes them so they seal on the first fill. Air check each clutch through its feed before final assembly. Install the new filter, then refill with Mercon ULV only and set the level hot. On a truck that came in with debris, the 10R80 transmission cooler is worth replacing so old material does not wash back into new frictions. Finish with the adaptive learning drive cycle so the module learns the new clutch fill.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
A banner kit has the overhaul gaskets and seals, friction plates and a filter. A master kit adds steel plates. If your steels are heat-marked or warped, buy the master kit or add steels.
The 2017-up F-150, 2018-up Mustang, Expedition and Navigator, and 2019-up Ranger. The Bronco uses the 10R60 and does not take this kit.
It is branded BorgWarner and sold new with a 1-year warranty, as shown in the specifications.
Mercon ULV only. Thinner fluids made for older Fords or universal fluids cause shift complaints in the 10-speed.
No. The module needs the adaptive learning drive cycle to learn clutch fill on the new frictions, or the first shifts will be harsh or soft.
