6R80 Clutch Module 2011-2018, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 6R80. Ships fast from the USA.
This listing is not a clutch pack. It is a complete genuine Ford 6R80 main control: the valve body castings, the molded lead frame and the full set of solenoids, assembled as one unit, cleaned, inspected and tested before it ships. It is aimed at 2011-2018 F-150 owners chasing a harsh 1-2 or 3-4, a truck that suddenly starts in a high gear, a flare that only shows up hot, or a pile of solenoid and speed sensor codes that keeps coming back after a fluid service. If your diagnosis has landed on the valve body or lead frame rather than worn frictions, this is the whole hydraulic and electrical control side in one box.
The 6R80 has no shift cables or governor. Every shift is an exchange between an off-going clutch and an on-coming clutch, and the timing of that exchange is decided by variable bleed solenoids bolted to the valve body. The molded lead frame sits on top of them: it carries the wiring from the case connector to each solenoid and also holds the turbine and output speed sensors and the range sensor signal path. That is why a lead frame fault can look like a solenoid failure, a speed sensor failure or a mechanical problem, and why replacing the valve body, lead frame and solenoids as one matched assembly removes all of those suspects at once.
Check the fluid first. Burnt fluid with friction material in the pan means the clutches are worn and a main control will not fix that; a friction set like our 6R80 Exedy friction kit is the repair. If the fluid is clean, read codes and freeze frame, then watch commanded versus actual gear on a scan tool. Our 6R80 valve body testing guide and P0720 guide walk through separating a sensor or lead frame fault from a sticking valve.
The listing covers select 2011-2018 F-150 trucks with the 6R80. Ford ran several valve body, lead frame, connector and solenoid configurations across those years, so year and engine alone do not confirm a match. Watch for three breaks. Early 2011 builds can carry the older roughly 10.5 ohm shift solenoid E, which Ford changed to about 18 ohms in late 2010, and the two do not swap. Sonnax documents a redesigned 2015-later valve body with FL3P castings and a new separator plate; if your truck is a 2015-2017 without start-stop, compare against our 2015-2017 valve body. And for 2018, some F-150s have the 6R80 while others have the 10-speed; the transmission code on the door certification label should read 6 for the 6R80. Match the casting numbers, lead frame style and connector on your old unit, or send year and VIN and we will check. Every 6R80 option is on the 6R80 parts page.
Remove the fill plug, drop the pan (no drain plug on most trucks), pull the filter, unplug the case connector and lower the old main control evenly. Install the new assembly with new connector seals and torque the bolts in sequence to your service information. Fit a new filter and gasket, such as our FT-188 filter and gasket kit, and refill with Mercon LV, setting the level hot at the fill plug. No programming comes with the part. The solenoid body strategy for the new assembly has to be entered into the computer, then adaptives reset and a relearn drive completed; GEARS Magazine notes a strategy mismatch gives harsh shifts no matter how good the hardware is.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. It is a complete 6R80 valve body with the molded lead frame and solenoids installed. It contains no clutch plates. If your clutches are worn, look at our 6R80 friction kits instead.
Only if your truck has the 6R80. Some 2018 F-150s use the 10-speed. Check the transmission code on the door certification label; it should read 6 for the 6R80.
Yes, plan on it. The solenoid body strategy for this assembly must be loaded into the computer with a factory-level scan tool, followed by an adaptive reset and relearn drive. Programming is not included.
No. The molded lead frame comes installed on this assembly, so lead frame codes such as P0720 and P0731 are addressed along with the valve body.
Mercon LV only. Install a new filter and pan gasket at the same time and check the level hot through the fill plug.
