10R80 Clutch Module 2018, new and ready to install. Fits the 10R80. Ships fast from the USA.
2018 was the year the 10-speed spread from the F-150 into the new Expedition, the Navigator and the Mustang, and a lot of those units are now at the mileage where the clutches are worn out. If your 2018 slips in one or two gears, flares between shifts, or came out of the pan with dark, burnt-smelling fluid, this 10R80 clutch module replaces the friction plates for every clutch in the unit. The pack shown carries Raybestos part number RCP96-523, a high energy friction module that Transmission Digest describes as 3 A, 5 B, 5 C, 6 D, 5 E and 4 F clutch plates.
There are no bands in this transmission. Six clutches, A through F, do all the work across four planetary gearsets, with a low one-way roller clutch helping in first. The Ford workshop manual chart applies four clutches in each gear, so every friction in the box is working in several ratios, not just one. That is why a single glazed pack can show up as a problem in more than one gear: worn D clutch frictions, for example, are in play in both third and fourth. The 28 friction plates in this module are lined, high energy replacements for the factory paper, and they are the wear item in each clutch pack. The steel plates are not part of the friction count, so reuse yours only if they are flat, unscored and not blued.
On a 2018 F-150, Expedition, Navigator or Mustang, rule out the easy fixes first. Ford's TSB 23-2152 covers these model years for harsh engagement and harsh or delayed shifts, and many of those trucks are fixed with a software update and the adaptive relearn. Slipping is different: software cannot fix plates that have lost their lining. Pull the pan and look for friction material, then read our 10R80 3-4 clutch failure guide to separate a worn pack from the CDF cylinder leak that produces similar codes. Expedition owners can also check the Expedition shift problems guide.
Listed for the 2018 Ford 10R80: the 2018 F-150, Expedition, Navigator and Mustang. It is not for the 10R60 in the Bronco. Ford changed some clutch plate service numbers in later years, and later Mustangs and Transits use different F clutch parts, which is why this listing is held to 2018. Count your old plates at teardown and compare thickness and spline type before you install, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm it. Other model years are on the 10R80 parts page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
All six. The Raybestos RCP96-523 pack pictured is described by Transmission Digest as 3 A, 5 B, 5 C, 6 D, 5 E and 4 F clutch friction plates, 28 plates total.
This is a friction module. Reuse the original steels only if they are flat, free of heat bluing and have undamaged lugs; otherwise buy new steels.
It is listed for the 2018 10R80, which covers the 2018 F-150, Expedition, Navigator and Mustang. Compare plate count and spline type to your old plates, or send your VIN to confirm.
Probably not yet. Ford TSB 23-2152 covers 2018 harsh and delayed shifts, and most are fixed with a software update and relearn. Frictions are the answer when the unit slips, flares or sheds lining into the pan.
At least 30 minutes in MERCON ULV, fully submerged, so the lining is saturated before it sees pressure.
