About this product

This kit is aimed at the most common 6R80 on the road: the one in a 2009-2014 Ford F-150, from the last 4.6L and 5.4L trucks through the 3.5L EcoBoost, 3.7L, 5.0L and 6.2L years. It also lists the 2009-2014 Expedition and Mustangs through 2014. If your truck now flares between gears under load, takes a moment to grab Drive, or the fluid on the dipstick tube smells scorched, the clutch packs are usually done and a full reseal and re-clutch is the repair that lasts.

It is a T18300D-pattern master kit made of three sub-sets: the T18302D overhaul set (gaskets, seals and sealing rings), the T183080D friction set and the T183081D steel set. That covers every wear surface in the five clutch packs. Hard parts such as the pump, drums, planetaries and bushings are reused if they measure good.

What the master rebuild kit does in a 6R80

The 6R80 makes six ratios by applying two of its five clutches at a time: A, B and E drive members of the Lepelletier gearset, while C and D hold. Since every pack works in more than one gear, a single glazed pack shows up as slip in several ratios. New frictions restore holding capacity and new steels give them a flat, clean surface to clamp. The seal set restores apply pressure behind each piston.

The 2009-2014 span crosses a big internal change. For 2011, when the F-150 moved to its new engine lineup, Ford added a one-way clutch to the rear planetary. That meant changes to the case, the C and D support and the rear planet. On those units the D clutch now releases at about 3 mph instead of staying on through first. A 2009-2010 truck and a 2012 truck look alike from outside but are not the same inside.

Symptoms this kit addresses

How to confirm it before you order

Many 2011-2014 complaints are not worn clutches. Ford TSB 13-6-8 covers 2011-2013 trucks and Mustangs that start in fifth gear and show a zero speedometer, caused by the molded lead frame losing the output speed signal. Recall work on these years targeted the same part. Rule that out first using our 6R80 F-150 shift problems guide, then watch commanded gear against actual ratio on a scan tool. A ratio that drifts with clean sensor data points to the packs. The 6R80 F-150 common problems guide lists the other faults worth checking.

Fitment: 2009-2014 6R80

The kit is listed for 2009-2014 F-150 with the 3.5L, 4.6L, 5.0L, 5.4L or 6.2L, 2009-2014 Expedition, and Mustang through 2014 (the six-speed automatic arrived in the Mustang for 2011). It is also listed for the 2011 Everest sold outside North America. Because of the 2011 one-way clutch change and the pump change for builds from April 1, 2014, count your plates as you strip each pack and compare them with the kit. If you are unsure, send us the year and VIN before you order. Late 2014 and 2015-up units may need the 2014 6R80 master kit instead. All parts for this family are on the 6R80 parts page.

Install notes

Soak the frictions in Mercon LV, lube every lip seal and air-check each circuit before the valve body goes on. Set pack clearance with selective plates. Inspect the pump bushing and gears: Ford's replacement pump for builds through March 31, 2014 is a different part from the later one, so match the date if you replace it with a 6R80 pump. Firm, harsh shifts are a valve body issue, so fit a 2009-2014 6R80 shift kit while the valve body is apart. Fill with Mercon LV, clear the adaptive tables and drive the relearn cycle before judging shift quality.

6R80 Master Rebuild Kit 2009-2014: common questions

What does this 2009-2014 6R80 kit include?

Three sets: an overhaul set of gaskets, seals and sealing rings (T18302D), a friction plate set (T183080D) and a steel plate set (T183081D). Fluid, filter and hard parts are not part of the kit.

Will it fit both a 2010 and a 2012 F-150?

It is listed for both, but Ford added a one-way clutch to the rear planetary for 2011, which changed the C and D support area. Count the plates in each pack and compare them with the kit, or send us your VIN and we will check.

My 2012 F-150 starts in fifth gear. Will a rebuild fix it?

Usually not. Ford TSB 13-6-8 links a fifth-gear start with a zero speedometer to the molded lead frame losing the output speed signal. Replace the lead frame first. Rebuild only if the clutches are also slipping.

Which fluid goes in after the rebuild?

Mercon LV. Soak the new frictions in it before assembly, then check the level hot with the engine running using the fill plug procedure.

Do I need to relearn the transmission?

Yes. Clear the transmission adaptive values with a scan tool, then drive through light-throttle upshifts and coast downshifts so the computer can learn the new clutch fill times.
