10R80 Governor Pressure Solenoid, new and ready to install. Fits the 10R80. Ships fast from the USA.
If you typed "governor pressure solenoid" into a search bar because your 10-speed F-150, Expedition, Navigator, Mustang or Ranger has started banging into gear, flaring between shifts or throwing a pressure code, you are in the right place, with one correction worth knowing up front. The 10R80 has no governor. That name comes from older rear-drive automatics that used a governor pressure solenoid to tell the transmission road speed. In the 10R80, road speed comes from sensors and the computer, and the solenoids in the valve body do the pressure work. This listing is a new solenoid of the cylindrical, blue-connector style used in that 10R80 main control, with a 1-year warranty and shipping from the USA.
The 10R80 uses a two-piece valve body carrying eight solenoids. Six of them, shift solenoids A through F, each control one of the six clutches. Ford calls them casting-integrated direct-acting solenoids: no fluid passes through them, and an armature and pin push directly on a valve in the casting. They are normally low, so zero current means zero clutch pressure. The other two are variable force solenoids. The line pressure control (LPC) solenoid works backward from the shift solenoids, giving full pressure at low current (about 50 mA) and very low pressure at high current (about 850 mA). The torque converter clutch solenoid is normally low like the shift solenoids. Because the shift solenoids cannot apply a clutch without current, a lost power feed leaves the truck with no gears at all; there is no limp-home range.
Do not start with parts. GEARS Magazine reports that about 80 percent of 10R80 shift complaints are cured by updating the transmission programming, followed by the Adaptive Learning Drive Cycle. Scan all modules, check the battery and fluid level, and look for updated calibration first. If the problem remains, compare commanded and actual pressure on the scan tool and gauge the line pressure port. Our 10R80 pressure control solenoid symptoms guide walks through that test, and the 10R80 F-150 shift problems guide helps separate a solenoid from the CDF drum and valve body failures Ford has covered in service bulletins.
The listing is for the Ford 10R80, used in the 2017-up F-150 and Transit, the 2018-up Expedition, Navigator and Mustang, and the 2019-up Ranger. It is not for the Bronco, which uses the lighter 10R60. Inside a 10R80 the solenoids are factory calibrated and not interchangeable by position. Ford allows them to be replaced one at a time, but only with the same type, and the replacement band number (a 1 through 5 printed on the side or end of the solenoid) must match the one you remove. Before ordering, pull the old solenoid and compare the connector, body shape, part number and band number with the photo, or send us your year and VIN and we will check it. Every other 10-speed part we carry is on the 10R80 collection page.

No. Governor pressure solenoids belong to older rear-drive automatics. The 10R80 reads road speed electronically and uses six shift solenoids plus line pressure and converter clutch solenoids. Many buyers still search the old name, so this listing uses it.
Match the solenoid type, part number and band number printed on the one you remove. Ford calibrates them at the factory, and a replacement must carry the same band number (1 through 5) as the original. Send your year and VIN if you want us to confirm.
Only if the solenoid is the cause. Most 10R80 shift complaints are fixed by a programming update and the Adaptive Learning Drive Cycle. Ford has also issued bulletins for CDF drum sleeve movement and valve body issues that feel the same, so diagnose first.
Mercon ULV only. Set the level hot with the transmission in the specified temperature window, because an overfill of about a quart can cause venting and overheating.
Run the Adaptive Learning Drive Cycle after the repair. Solenoid body strategy programming is required when the whole valve body, the transmission or the TCM/PCM is replaced, not when a single matched solenoid is swapped.
No. The 2021-up Bronco uses the 10R60, a lighter member of the same family. This listing is for the 10R80.
