10R80 Clutch Drum 2017-22, new and ready to install. Fits the 10R80. Ships fast from the USA.
The 2017 through 2022 model years cover the stretch of 10R80 production that gave the Ford 10-speed its reputation: F-150s that bang into Reverse on a cold morning, Expeditions that flare between third and fifth, Mustangs and Rangers that set a pile of shift solenoid and gear ratio codes the moment the fluid gets hot. When the teardown points at a leaking drum, this new clutch drum is a mid-priced replacement aimed squarely at those early and middle production years, priced below the general 10R80 service drum we also carry.
The 10R80 uses six clutches to make ten forward ratios, and three of them, C, D and F, live together in one cylinder Ford calls the CDF clutch cylinder (base part 7H351). Apply oil for all three comes up a long input shaft, passes through the No. 3 sun gear shaft, and crosses into the drum through a steel sleeve pressed into the hub. Sealing rings on the sun gear shaft ride against that sleeve. If the sleeve moves even slightly, the rings stop sealing, and pressure meant for one clutch leaks to another circuit or back to the sump. Because C, D and F are involved in most of the ten gears, a single bad sealing surface upsets nearly the whole shift schedule.
Ford TSB 24-2304 names axial movement of the CDF cylinder sleeve as the cause of harsh or delayed engagements and shifts on 10R80 vehicles built on or before August 15, 2022, and the repair it calls for is replacing the cylinder. Ford later released an updated drum with a no-walk backing lip to stop the sleeve from moving. That build cutoff lines up with this listing's 2022 end year, which is why a 2017-2022 transmission still on its original drum is the classic candidate for this part once it is apart.
Codes alone do not condemn a drum. Ford's dealer procedure measures line pressure with a transducer while commanding individual clutch solenoids to compare leak rates, and it requires current software and an adaptive relearn first. Plenty of harsh-shift complaints are cleared by a software update or a keep alive memory reset, and a sticking valve body can mimic a drum leak. Our 10R80 common problems guide walks through the order of checks, and the F-150 shift problems guide covers the truck-specific steps. On the bench, look for a sleeve sitting proud of its bore and scored ring lands.
This drum is listed for 10R80 transmissions from 2017 to 2022. In that window the 10R80 went into the F-150 from 2017, the Expedition, Navigator and Mustang from 2018, the Ranger from 2019, and the Explorer and Transit later on. It does not fit the Bronco, which uses the lighter 10R60, and the TSB excludes the hybrid 10R80. Ford revised internal parts during production, so compare the photo against your old drum and match the part number stamped on it, or send us your year and VIN before ordering. Every 10R80 part we stock is on our 10R80 collection page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It is listed for 2017-2022 10R80 transmissions, which includes 2021 F-150 trucks. Ford revised internal parts during production, so match the part number on your old drum or send your VIN before ordering. Hybrid 10R80 units are not covered.
Plan on new C, D and F clutch plates, all piston and drum seals, new solid sealing rings, and a filter. Most shops install a full overhaul kit at the same time since the transmission is already apart.
Ford's procedure uses a pressure transducer while commanding individual clutches to measure leakage. On the bench, a sleeve that has moved out of its bore or grooved ring lands confirms the drum. Update software and relearn adaptives before tearing down.
No. The Bronco uses the lighter-duty 10R60. This drum is for the 10R80 in F-150, Expedition, Navigator, Mustang, Ranger, Explorer and Transit applications.
Refill with Mercon ULV and check the level hot, since overfill causes venting and overheating on this unit. Then clear keep alive memory and complete the adaptive learning drive cycle so the shifts recalibrate to the new parts.
