Deep-sump cast aluminum pan with cooling fins and a magnetic drain plug for the Ford 6R80 and 6R100. Replaces 328051120 on F-150 and Super Duty trucks.
This is a deep-sump cast aluminum transmission pan kit for the Ford 6R80 in the 2009-2017 F-150 and the 6R100 in the 6.2L gas Super Duty, crossing to part number 328051120. Buyers usually want one of three things: more fluid capacity for a truck that tows, a drain plug so a fluid change no longer means pulling the whole pan, or a replacement for a stamped pan that is leaking, rusted or dented. The kit pictured includes the finned pan with a magnetic drain plug, a pan gasket, a filter and a set of pan bolts.
The pan is the transmission's reservoir. The pump pulls fluid from it through the filter, and the valve body, solenoids and molded lead frame sit right above it, so the pan is also the access cover for most 6R80 electrical repairs. The factory pan is shallow stamped steel without a drain. A deep cast pan changes three things. It holds more fluid, so the same heat load is spread across a larger volume and the fluid in circulation runs a little cooler. Its ribbed walls and floor add surface area exposed to airflow under the truck. And the magnetic drain plug lets you drain and inspect fluid between full services, with the magnet holding the fine steel particles that otherwise circulate back through the solenoids.
Clean the pan rail and look for the source of any leak. On the 6R80 a wet pan can actually be coming from the case connector, the cooler lines or the rear seal, and fluid tracks downhill to the pan bolts. If the truck has shift complaints, a new pan will not cure them on its own; check stored codes and read our 6R80 common problems and fixes guide, which covers the lead frame recalls, the TSB repairs and the codes that point to the parts above the pan. F-150 owners should also see the 6R80 F-150 common problems guide.
The listing calls out the 6R80 in 2009-2017 Ford F-150 trucks and the 6R100 in 2017-2022 F-250 and F-350 Super Duty with the 6.2L V8; Ford's fluid chart confirms that the 6.2L Super Duty used the 6R100 in that era. Several later F-150s are not covered: the 2017 3.5L EcoBoost and the 2018-up 2.7L EcoBoost and 5.0L V8 use the 10R80, whose pan is different. The 6R80 also went into the Expedition, Navigator and Mustang, but this pan is listed for the trucks above, and its deeper floor needs clearance under the vehicle. Read the transmission tag on the case or send the year and VIN so we can confirm before it ships. All of our 6R80 hard parts and kits are on the 6R80 parts page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Only if the truck still has the 6R80, which in those years was mainly the 3.3L V6, and that pairing is not part of this listing. 10R80 trucks need a different pan. Read the transmission tag or send the VIN before ordering.
The kit shown includes a filter, a pan gasket and pan bolts with the pan. Replace the filter every time the pan comes off.
The deeper sump adds capacity over the shallow factory pan, but the exact amount varies. Always set the level at the fill check plug with the engine running hot rather than by quart count.
No. It adds capacity, improves drainage and helps a little with heat. Harsh or erratic 6R80 shifts usually come from the lead frame, solenoids or valve body, which you can reach while the pan is off.
Motorcraft Mercon LV for both the 6R80 and the 6R100. Ford advises against supplemental additives.
