6R80 Clutch Module 2007, new and ready to install. Fits the 6R80. Ships fast from the USA.
If your Ford six-speed slips on the 1-2, flares into fourth under load, or the fluid comes out dark and smelling burnt, the friction plates are usually the part that has given up. This listing is a full friction clutch pack for Ford's 6R family, catalogued from 2007 on. That year matters: 2007 is when the late Expedition and Navigator were running the 6R75 and the Explorer the 6R60, two years before the 6R80 itself went into the 2009 F-150. This pack is the friction set a rebuilder reaches for when the unit is already apart and the old plates are glazed, flaking or down to the core. It ships as 29 frictions in three groups of 7, 10 and 12 plates, drawn from one of the major US friction makers, and it does not include steels.
The 6R80 is Ford's version of the ZF six-speed with a Lepelletier geartrain: a simple front planet feeding a Ravigneaux rear set. Five friction packs make every ratio. Three are rotating clutches, which GEARS Magazine identifies as the forward clutch (A), direct clutch (B) and overdrive clutch (E). The other two, C and D, are brakes that hold members to the case. Every forward gear is two packs at once, A and D for first through to C and E for sixth, and the PCM hands each shift from one pack to the next by ramping solenoid pressure. When a pack's frictions wear thin, it cannot hold that handoff and you feel it as slip or flare on the specific shift that pack is part of.
A 6R family transmission can fake clutch slip. Sonnax has documented the shift solenoids drifting out of calibration with age, which smears the overlap and feels like a slipping pack, and GEARS Magazine wrote up a 6R80 that dropped to neutral on the 3-4 shift with a clean pan and an E clutch that air-checked good; the fault was in the valve body. Read codes, watch commanded versus actual gear on a scan tool, and drop the pan to look for friction debris before you commit to a teardown. Our 6R80 3-4 clutch failure guide walks through which pack is responsible for which shift, and the Expedition shift problems guide covers the 5.4L trucks that share this clutch design.
The listing is catalogued as a 6R80 pack starting with 2007. In practice that start date points to the 6R60 and 6R75 era, because there was no US 6R80 before the 2009 model year. The 6R60, 6R75 and 6R80 share the same five-pack layout, but Ford made running changes to pistons, the center support and some plate stacks over the years, and the 2011 6R80 added a one-way clutch that changed how the low pack is used. Count and measure the plates you take out of each drum and compare them to this set before you start building, read the tag on the case for part number and build date, and send us your year, model and VIN if you want the match checked first. All of our family parts are on the 6R80 collection page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Possibly, because the 6R60, 6R75 and 6R80 share the same five-pack layout, but the 6R80 only arrived in the 2009 F-150 and Ford changed parts along the way. Compare plate counts and thickness to what you remove, or send us your year and VIN to check first.
Each forward gear applies two packs. First is A and D, second A and C, third A and B, fourth A and E, fifth B and E, and sixth C and E. Reverse uses B and D. Slip on one shift points you to the packs involved in it.
Not always. Steels that are flat, unscored and not blued can be reused after cleaning. Heat-discolored or warped steels should be replaced or they will damage the new frictions.
Mercon LV. Soak the new frictions in it before assembly and fill the transmission with it. Do not add friction modifiers or additives.
Only if the pack is actually worn. GEARS Magazine documented a 6R80 with that symptom whose E clutch air-checked good and whose fault was in the valve body, so test before you tear it down.
