6R80 Clutch Drum 2008, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 6R80. Ships fast from the USA.
This remanufactured 6R80 clutch drum is tagged 2008, which puts it at the very start of 6R80 production, the units built for the first 6R80 trucks: the 2009 model year F-150, Expedition and Lincoln Navigator. If one of those early trucks slips in a group of gears, flares on a shift or came apart with a cracked drum, this is a cleaned, inspected drum ready to build into the unit, with a 1-year warranty.
The 6R80 is the heavy-duty member of Ford's ZF 6HP26-based family, built to take more torque than the 6R60 and 6R75. Its forward (A) and direct (B) clutches share a housing at the front of the gear train, and its overdrive (E) clutch drum is built onto the input shaft. A is applied from first through fourth, B in third, fifth and Reverse, and E in fourth through sixth, so the gears that slip tell you which drum or piston is leaking. Early units like the one this drum came from predate the 2011 redesign that added a one-way clutch at the center support, which matters for the rest of the rebuild but does not change the front drums.
Early 6R80 trucks are also the ones hit by lead frame and output speed sensor issues, so read codes and rule out the electrical side first; Ford covered several of those faults under recalls and extended coverage. Then match the slipping gears to the clutch chart. On the bench, air-check each piston, heat the drum and look for cracks, and check bushings and sealing ring lands for wear. Our 3-4 clutch failure guide shows how shops separated valve body faults from clutch failures, and the Expedition shift problems guide covers the same unit in the SUV application.
The listing says 6R80 for 2008. The 6R80 first went into 2009 model year F-150, Expedition and Navigator trucks, so a 2008 date most likely refers to the build year of the transmission, not the vehicle. Ford revised several 6R80 parts from 2010 onward, including pistons, steels, the overdrive clutch hub and later the center support, so check your transmission tag and compare our photos to your old part before ordering. On the 6R80 the input shaft carries three sealing rings with no bushing journal, which separates it from the 6R60. If your truck is a later build, the 2008-2015 6R80 clutch drum may be a better match, and the input-shaft drum is sold as the 2008 6R80 input drum. Send your year and VIN and we will confirm. More parts are on the 6R80 parts page.
Install new piston seals and sealing rings, lubricate with fluid, and air-check the pistons before stacking clutches. Measure steel thickness and set each pack's clearance with the right selective snap ring rather than reusing the old stack. While it is apart, consider the updated two-piece overdrive clutch hub that replaced the original welded part. New frictions and steels from the 2009-2014 6R80 master rebuild kit belong in the drum with it. Fill with MERCON LV, check the level hot, then reset adaptive tables with a scan tool and do a relearn drive.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Most likely, since the 6R80 entered production for 2009 model year trucks and a 2008 tag usually reflects the transmission build date. Check your transmission tag and send us your year and VIN to confirm.
It is a remanufactured OEM drum with a 1-year warranty.
The 2011 update changed the center support and low-reverse components, not the front drums, but your rebuild must use the parts that match your center support design.
New frictions, steels, piston seals and sealing rings for that pack, a filter and enough MERCON LV for the refill. A master rebuild kit covers the soft parts.
Yes. Clear the adaptive shift values with a scan tool and complete a relearn drive so the controller adapts to the new clutch pack.
